SK hynix unveils AI NAND strategy, including gargantuan petabyte-class QLC SSDs — ultra-fast HBF and 100M IOPS SSDs also in the pipeline

SK Hynix.

SK hynix last week used the 2025 Global Summit to reveal its AI NAND strategy and AIN storage products aimed at artificial intelligence applications. While AI systems have historically used storage devices designed for enterprise servers, SK hynix believes that purpose-built NAND-based storage solutions — AIB P, AIN B, and AIN D — will better serve the needs of AI servers and clusters and will enable higher performance efficiency.

Going forward, SK hynix will offer three distinct product lineups tailored for the specific needs of AI clusters and servers: AIN D for high-density storage, AIN P for high-performance storage, and AIN B — based on High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) technology — for emerging ultra-high-performance storage devices that can be installed along HBM memory. Each product family is designed to address its own set of workloads with their own set of technologies while balancing capabilities and costs to improve every stage of AI, from ingestion and archiving to training and inference.
