Solidigm, a U.S. subsidiary fully-owned by Korea's SK Hynix, and a leading provider of innovative NAND flash memory solutions, introduced today the 122TB (terabyte) Solidigm D5-P5336 data center SSD, the world's highest capacity PCIe solid-state drive (SSD).
The new product, of which storage space doubles the company's earlier 61.44TB version, is the world's first SSD with unlimited Random Write endurance for five years and is expected to offer an optimal solution for AI and data-intensive workloads. The storage of 122.88TB is roughly enough for 4K-quality copies of every movie theatrically released in the 1990s, 2.6 times over.
With data storage power, thermal and space constraints accelerating in accordance with increasing AI adoption, the product is expected to help data center operators to deploy with confidence the 122TB D5-P5336 from Solidigm.
"Data center architects are scrambling to solve their power and space efficiency needs, and they can help address these issues with Solidigm's 122TB D5-P5336 that is designed to make every watt and square inch count," said Greg Matson, Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning and Marketing at Solidigm. "This massive capacity SSD is a game-changer — using far fewer watts per terabyte and freeing up valuable energy for other data center and edge power priorities."
"The AI opportunity does not come without challenges, and organizations today are making unprecedented infrastructure power and space decisions," said Travis Vigil, senior vice president, ISG Product Management, Dell Technologies. "Dell Technologies believes that higher density provides the path to maximizing storage energy efficiency while minimizing data center footprint. As we strive towards density in our own solutions, we look forward to continued storage innovations like Solidigm's new 122TB D5-P5336 solid-state drive."
Now sampling to customers and planning to start volume shipping in the first quarter of next year, the new 122TB drive is a strong extension to the company's high-capacity SSDs for AI and other data-intensive workloads. With this drive, Solidigm further extends its high-capacity QLC SSD leadership with drives from 7 to 122TB that share the same controller, making them easier for customers to qualify.
