Solidigm Extends Agreement with Broadcom on High-Capacity SSD Controllers for AI

Rancho Cordova, Calif., Jan. 23, 2025 – Solidigm, a leading provider of innovative NAND flash memory solutions, today announced a multi-year extension of its agreement with Broadcom Inc. on the use of high-capacity solid-state drive (SSD) controllers to support artificial intelligence (AI) and data-intensive workloads.

Solidigm is the leading provider of high-capacity storage for AI, and Broadcom’s custom controllers have served as a critical component of Solidigm SSDs for more than a decade. With more than 120 million units of Solidigm SSDs shipped featuring Broadcom controllers, the collaboration between the two companies has continued through key industry SSD milestones including Serial ATA (SATA), Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe).

The agreement also includes Solidigm’s recently announced 122TB (terabyte) Solidigm™ D5-P5336 data center SSD, the world’s highest capacity PCIe SSD that delivers industry-leading storage efficiency from the core data center to the edge.

“With our new 122TB SSD, Solidigm further extends our high-capacity QLC (quad-level cell) leadership from 8 to 122TB drives that all share the same controller from Broadcom, making our drives easier for customers to qualify,” said Solidigm Co-CEO Kevin Noh. “Our relationship with Broadcom is pivotal to Solidigm as we collectively work to help our customers achieve efficiency benefits in the buildout of AI infrastructure.”

“Our multi-generational collaboration with Solidigm continues to deliver connectivity and storage innovation for AI infrastructure at scale,” said Broadcom's Charlie Kawwas, Ph.D., President of Semiconductor Solutions Group. “We are excited about extending this partnership to deliver next-generation solutions for AI data centers with Solidigm.”
