In a ground-breaking development, SK Hynix has announced plans to develop a solid-state drive (SSD) with an unprecedented capacity of 300TB. This colossal drive is designed to meet the rapidly growing data demands of data centers in the AI era, where data generation is skyrocketing. With a market forecast predicting a jump from 15ZB in 2014 to 660ZB by 2025, SK Hynix is pioneering the path for high-capacity SSDs to support AI workloads. While details about the 300TB SSD remain scarce, it is expected to rival existing offerings like Samsung’s PBSSD initiative (240TB) or ExaDrive’s 100TB SSD housed in a 3.5-inch chassis. Striking a balance between capacity, speed, and reliability will be crucial in the development of this groundbreaking technology, as data centers embrace the power of AI.
