Solidigm showed off one of the first liquid-cooled business storage drives at the GTC AI Conference today. These new drives help companies remove the fans that storage devices usually need. This makes it possible to build future AI servers that cool everything with liquid instead of air. Companies have long wanted completely liquid-cooled training servers.
Servers need total liquid cooling because it lets designers make smaller machines and spend less money on cooling systems. Old liquid cooling plans for storage drives cooled just one side of each drive and made it impossible to replace drives without shutting down. Solidigm teamed up with NVIDIA to fix these problems. They solved both the hot-swap issue and the single-side cooling limits that held back progress.
People can see these new drives at GTC 2025, where Solidigm displays the first cold-plate-cooled business drives. They feature the Solidigm D7-PS1010 E1.S 9.5 mm design. Kevin Noh, who leads Solidigm as co-CEO, talked about how their brand new cold-plate kit paired with their E1.S SSD works much better at controlling heat yet still lets data centers replace drives easily.
Businesses can buy these drives for their AI servers during the second half of 2025. The design continues Solidigm's history of creating innovative storage packaging that changes how enterprise drives work. They became famous as the first company to create the "ruler" shaped storage drives. The company also plans to release their D7-PS1010 E1.S in a thicker 15 mm size. This gives more options for servers and storage systems that still use air cooling.
