Just 25 years ago SSDs were a mere 1 or 2 GB, faster forward to 2024 and we are at 122 TB!

Now with AI's BIG dreams, they need seriously BIG storage to make them come true! Patrick Moorhead and Melody Brue are with Solidigm's Dave Dixon and Greg Matson, for a special panel edition of Six Five On The Road. The group sits alongside industry leaders Chloe Jian Ma from ARM, Renen Hallak from VAST Data, Jacob Yundt from CoreWeave, Sophie Kane from Ocient, and Roger Cummings from PEAK:AIO for a conversation on the evolution of high-capacity storage and its pivotal role in AI's future.

Highlights from the panel include:

- The introduction of Solidigm's new 122TB drive and the implications of QLC-based high-cap SSDs in the AI realm

- Tech transitions over the years from the era of minicomputers to GenAI, focusing on how each shift impacts the compute-memory-storage-networking spectrum

- The challenges and solutions surrounding storage and data management for AI, and the critical need for power and space efficiency

- How Solidigm and its partners are addressing the surging demand for energy-efficient AI infrastructures and the benefits of high-capacity SSDs and QLC technology

- Forward looking thoughts on growth areas in AI, storage innovation, and the role of efficient data centers in sustainable technology advancement
