- Dell uses Kioxia's LC9 high-capacity QLC SSDs to create a 10 PB all-flash storage server in a compact 2RU form factor.
- The PowerEdge R7725xd server includes 40 LC9 NVMe SSDs, each 245.76 TB, and supports high-speed networking with up to five 400 Gbps NICs.
- The server is designed for AI infrastructure, offering storage density and power efficiency, with potential for 196 PB per rack using twenty servers.
- Kioxia and Dell emphasize benefits like massive data ingestion, effortless scaling of data lakes, and improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Several companies, including Micron, Sandisk, SK Hynix, and Samsung, are developing similar high-capacity SSDs, with Samsung planning up to a 1 PB drive.
