With 85 to 90 percent of data center storage still on hard disk drives, high density NAND SSDs present a huge sustainability opportunity. The operational impact of hard drives as compared to SSDs are well understood – they consume more space, are more power hungry and, require more cooling. But the sustainability advantages of high density QLC SSDs as compared to HDDs and even TLC SSDs extend beyond those opportunities.
In this presentation given at Open Compute Project (OCP) Summit 2022, Charles Anyimi, Solidigm's VP, Customer Technical Excellence, addresses how storing more data in less space has wide-ranging sustainability benefits.
