2025: Product Announcement

On September 23, 2025, Solidigm introduced the world's first solid state drives (SSDs) equipped with a liquid cooling system (LCO). The products are designed for use in high-performance servers focused on AI tasks.

One of the key components of the new FGM is a cooling plate that covers one side of the SSD. As part of the server, such drives are mounted side by side in a special disk basket, so that heat is removed from both sides of each device. The use of a liquid circuit makes it possible to create fanless servers with a high build density, which is important in the case of powerful computing complexes for artificial intelligence applications. According to Solidigm, LCO provides efficient heat removal directly from critical components of solid-state drives. As a result, speed and reliability are improved, as well as stability is increased under prolonged high loads.

LCO is used with Solidigm D7-PS1010 drives, which are made in a E1.S form factor with a body thickness of 9.5 and 15 mm. 176-layer TLC 3D NAND flash memory microchips were used, and the capacity is 3.84 and 7.68 TB. PCIe 5.0 x4 interface is used to exchange data with the server.

For SSD, the maximum speed of sequential reading of information at the level of 14,500 MB/s is declared. When working in sequential recording mode, the indicator reaches 10,500 MB/s. Drives can perform up to 3.3 million I/O operations per second (IOPS) for arbitrary reading and up to 400 thousand operations for arbitrary writing. The MTBF (mean time between failures) reaches 2.5 million hours. The manufacturer's warranty is five years.^[1]
