Computex 2026: SSSTC Expands Immersion Cooling SSD Product Portfolio to Address Temperature Management Challenges in AI Data Centres
Taipei, (ANTARA/PRNewswire) - Solid State Storage Technology Corporation (SSSTC), a subsidiary of the global SSD manufacturer Kioxia Corporation, showcased enterprise-class SSDs designed for immersion cooling systems and AI data centres at Computex 2026. Additionally, SSSTC presented its full portfolio of industrial and enterprise-grade SSD solutions.
As generative AI and high-density computing continue to advance rapidly, temperature management has become a critical challenge for modern data centres. To address this, SSSTC has optimised its SSDs to operate within immersion cooling environments by enhancing corrosion resistance through specialised materials, component protection, and reinforced structural designs. The SSD solution portfolio includes the SATA ER3, ER4, and ER5 series, as well as the PCIe® U.2 PJ1 and EJ5 series.
These SSDs are engineered for immersion cooling systems, a method where devices are submerged in a non-conductive dielectric liquid. By leveraging the high heat capacity and convective properties of the liquid, heat can be released more efficiently through liquid circulation and heat exchange. This approach reduces reliance on conventional air-cooling systems while improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and overall system reliability.
Furthermore, SSSTC showcased its range of industrial and enterprise SSDs optimised for AI and edge computing applications. SSSTC’s industrial-grade SSDs support Edge AI implementation and usage in extreme environments, with operating temperature ranges from minus 40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius. These products also feature vibration and shock-resistant designs for industrial and outdoor requirements. Supported by pSLC architecture, these SSDs offer superior endurance for write-intensive workloads. Additionally, a multi-layered Power Loss Protection (PLP) system—comprising hardware PLP, firmware PLP, and PLN—provides flexible data protection.
For the enterprise segment, eTLC SSDs deliver stable performance for AI workloads, offering endurance options of 1 and 3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) over five years to suit various usage intensities. Under sustained workloads, these SSDs are capable of maintaining random IOPS consistency of over 90%, thereby minimising performance fluctuations. Firmware optimised for high-density computing also supports low-latency operations. Capacitor-based PLP support and compatibility with immersion cooling ensure reliable performance in heavy implementation environments.
With over 18 years of experience in internal firmware development, SSSTC understands the diverse data storage needs across various industries. SSSTC provides flexible customisation options, ranging from over-provisioning configurations, lifespan and capacity optimisation, and performance and power consumption adjustments, to the development of bespoke firmware tailored to specific application needs. SSSTC is committed to helping customers build stable, efficient, and sustainable AI data storage infrastructures.
