Details

Dell placed 40 of Kioxia's LC9 245.76TB QLC NVMe SSD drives into a PowerEdge R7725xd 2RU server, creating an all-flash storage server with a total capacity of 9.8PB.

The server is based on AMD EPYC 9005 and supports up to 5 400Gbps NICs, designed with large-scale data transfer in mind.

Dell SVP Arun Narayanan explained that this combination boosts storage density and power efficiency, helping with AI infrastructure expansion.

  • Putting 20 servers in a single rack could theoretically achieve up to 196PB.
  • Micron, Sandisk, SK hynix, and Solidigm are also entering the 256TB-class SSD race.
  • Scality noted that Samsung's next-generation nearline SSD could have even greater capacity and a 1PB roadmap.
