AI Storage Revolution: 8TB SSD Hits 11GB/s Speeds
19 Jun
Summary
- New SSD offers PCIe 5.0 speeds up to 11GB/s for AI workloads.
- Compact 2230 form factor houses 8TB capacity using advanced SiP technology.
- Proprietary cooling ensures sustained performance for intensive AI tasks.
Shenzhen-based Longsys is innovating AI storage solutions with its latest mSSD, boasting PCIe 5.0 speeds reaching 11GB/s read and 10GB/s write. This new drive maintains the compact M.2 2230 form factor while doubling maximum capacity to 8TB.
This high capacity and small size are enabled by advanced wafer-level SiP technology, integrating NAND flash, controller, and PMIC onto a single die. Longsys specifically targets "intense KV Cache-driven AI workloads," aiming for sustained performance.
The company showcased its solution with a proprietary VC phase-change liquid cooling system and multi-layer thermal architecture at Computex 2026. This setup allows for consistent performance, distinguishing it from other DRAM-less SSDs in the same form factor.
Given the capabilities and current market prices for similar high-capacity SSDs, the Longsys mSSD is expected to command a significant price, likely in the four figures, even before an official price or release date is announced.
