Solidigm, a pioneer in enterprise data storage, unveiled at the GTC AI Conference today one of the world's first liquid-cooled enterprise solid state drives (eSSDs)—helping remove the fans historically needed for storage devices and enabling future fully liquid-cooled artificial intelligence (AI) servers. Until now, the ability to deploy a completely liquid-cooled training server has been hampered by challenges with certain components. Traditional SSD direct liquid cooling (DLC) designs cool only one side of each SSD and prevent hot swapping. To enable more compact designs and decrease cooling costs, it is imperative these servers adopt a complete liquid-cooling approach to enable more compact designs while addressing architectural needs for all the components.

Solidigm has worked with NVIDIA to address eSSD liquid-cooling challenges, such as hot swap-ability and single-side cooling constraints. At GTC 2025, Solidigm is demonstrating the first cold-plate cooled eSSDs featuring the Solidigm D7-PS1010 E1.S 9.5 mm form factor. "Solidigm shows how the combination of an innovative Solidigm E1.S SSD and liquid cold-plate kit—both first-to-market innovations—deliver significant benefits in thermal efficiency while maintaining data center grade serviceability," said Kevin Noh, Co-CEO of Solidigm.

Transcend Information Inc. (Transcend), a leading global manufacturer of memory storage solutions, introduces the ETD410T, a new U.2 enterprise solid-state drive (eSSD) designed for high-performance computing environments. Tailored to meet the stringent demands of enterprise users for ultra-fast data transfer and reliability, the ETD410T adopts the PCIe Gen 4 x4 high-speed interface and U.2 15 mm form factor, featuring a DRAM cache for exceptional performance and robust data protection. It is an ideal solution for data centers and enterprise applications.

Durable and Stable for High-Frequency Workloads
The Transcend ETD410T is a professional solution optimized for read-intensive workloads. Compliant with JESD219 standards, it offers a durability of up to 7,000 Program/Erase (P/E) cycles to withstand frequent use over long periods. With Quality of Service (QoS) consistently maintained between 99.9% and 99.99%, it delivers stable and reliable operation even in demanding enterprise environments, ensuring consistent and dependable data access.

AEWIN is glad to introduce our latest storage adapter cards, RS110A and RS118A. Each card has two hot-swappable E1.S trays while RS110A in a Standard PCIe x8 FHHL form factor and RS118A is in AEWIN Expansion Module form factor. RS118A can be installed in current AEWIN platforms with AEWIN expansion module bays while RS110A is suitable for platforms with standard PCIe slots for flexible storage expansion. With RS110A and RS118A, two E1.S NVMe SSDs with Maximum 9.5 mm and 15 mm height can be applied to existing systems for excellent scalability.

Market researchers have reported that the E1.S form factor is projected to become the most widely adopted small form factor for enterprise SSDs of data center in the coming years. E1.S NVMe storage features better thermal management solutions and can utilize bigger power consumption of 20 W which can overcome the scaling issue that M.2 is having. In addition, E1.S storage has hot-swappable features to minimize downtime and perform easier maintenance for replacement or capacity upgrade of the servers.

Noctua today expanded its award-winning A-series of premium-quality quiet cooling fans with slim 60 mm models. Complementing the existing, 25 mm thick NF-A6x25, the new, 15 mm thick NF-A6x15 is available in 12 V and 5 V variants, both with 3-pin and PWM 4-pin connectors. Additionally, Noctua also introduced the new NA-SC1 Sx2 set of 3-way PWM splitter cables for running three fans off a single fan header.

"The NF-A6x25 has been very popular over the years, but some devices and applications that use 60 mm fans can only fit slimmer models with up to 15 mm thickness - this is where the new NF-A6x15 steps in", explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "We're confident that this fan is going to be popular both for our industrial customers and end users who utilise it for 3D printing or DIY fan replacements."
