Solidigm, a US-based subsidiary of SK hynix specializing in storage solutions for data centers has introduced what it claims to be the world's first liquid-cooled eSSD (Enterprise SSD) solution for AI servers. Solidigm presented its D7-PS1010 E1.S eSSDs at GTC, paving the way for fully liquid-cooled servers in the future.
SSDs are an extremely vital component of servers designed for AI due to their fast data access requirements. While SSDs are prone to endurance limits, AI workloads are generally more read-intensive. This coupled with the lack of mechanical parts, higher efficiency, and predictable response times makes SSDs the go-to choice for AI-centric data centers. In an attempt to foster fanless server designs, Solidigm has pioneered the world's first liquid-cooled eSSD solution.
