Solidigm VP talks PCIe 6.0 SSDs, next-gen floating gate NAND, liquid cooled storage and more — Avi Shetty, VP of AI, Solutions & Market Enablement discusses the future of enterprise storage tech
In an interview with Tom’s Hardware Premium, Solidigm's Avi Shetty discusses the future of high-capacity SSDs, Floating-Gate NAND, PLC memory, PCIe 6.0 storage, liquid-cooled SSDs, Nvidia's Storage Next vision, and why the company believes AI will drive demand for even denser NAND flash-based storage technologies.
The accelerating demand for AI compute is driving a rapid evolution in storage technologies, pushing the limits of current SSD capabilities.
This development highlights the crucial role of advanced storage in enabling future AI applications and data centers, impacting compute infrastructure and capacity.
The discussion of PCIe 6.0, new NAND technologies, and liquid cooling indicates a significant leap in storage performance and density, moving beyond current enterprise standards.

Enterprise data centers will gain significantly higher storage density and speed, directly supporting more powerful AI applications.
The increased storage efficiency could lead to a rethinking of data center design and operational strategies due to reduced physical footprint and power requirements per TB.
The development of liquid-cooled storage may set a precedent for broader adoption of liquid cooling across other compute components as density continues to increase, creating new infrastructure demands.
