Solidigm D5-P5336 61.44TB SSD
The 61.44TB D5-P5336 is a high-density PCIe 4.0 QLC enterprise SSD for read-intensive storage. It sits between the 30.72TB and 122.88TB capacities, often making it easier to meet density targets without concentrating the entire node on the largest device.
Form factor is part of the product identity. Confirm the ordering code and platform matrix rather than assuming every 61.44TB P5336 fits every NVMe bay.

61.44TB capacity planning
Nine drives provide 552.96TB raw and seventeen provide 1,044.48TB raw. Those figures are decimal raw capacity; RAID, erasure coding, spare capacity, metadata and filesystem formatting reduce usable storage.
Use the target table as a device-count starting point, then model protection at the node and rack level. A capacity target should include rebuild bandwidth, fault domains and the amount of data placed at risk when one device is unavailable.
Endurance and expected writes
Solidigm lists the 61.44TB capacity at 0.58 DWPD and 65.2PBW over five years. Compare that limit with projected host writes and expected write amplification, not with the volume of data merely stored on the drive.
Dataset serving, archive recall, object reads and content distribution are natural fits. Persistent scratch space, database logs and heavy update streams warrant a higher-endurance family or a separate write tier.
Before ordering
Verify U.2, E3.S or E1.L mechanics, PCIe lane support, hot-plug behavior, thermal airflow and firmware approval. The connector family alone does not establish platform compatibility.
When comparing offers, match the full product code, condition and warranty. A bare drive, system-qualified option and vendor-supported spare can carry materially different support terms even when the controller and NAND family are similar.
Frequently asked questions
How many 61.44TB drives are needed for 1PB raw?
Seventeen drives provide 1,044.48TB raw. Usable capacity will be lower after protection and formatting.
What is the P5336 61.44TB endurance rating?
Solidigm publishes 0.58 DWPD and 65.2PBW over five years for this capacity.
Is 61.44TB available in every P5336 form factor?
The family includes U.2, E3.S and E1.L options, but buyers should confirm the exact current ordering code and supported platform before purchase.
