Solid State: Flash-Based Technology Continues to Drive Cloud Applications
summary
Kioxia claims NAND flash drives power cloud scale: one-third of global NAND comes from its fabs, and Gartner expects >1 ZB NAND next year with ~60% going to SSDs. Kioxia supplies 200 TB to the ISS using off‑the‑shelf SSDs that fit a 500 W budget and survive launch. Rack comparisons: 90 HDDs = 1.8 PB at ~500 W idle versus 32 U.2 SSDs = ~1 PB per 4U at ~1/3 idle power and 10x higher efficiency; E1.L could yield 2 PB/1U with ~5x HDD efficiency. Rebuilds drop from days to hours/minutes. HDD shipments still 5–6x SSDs.
