Back to Podcast EpisodesPodcast #138: Solidigm Liquid-Cooled SSDs
Providing a look at the latest in liquid-cooled SSDs from Solidigm.
Brian invited Cody Noland, Solidigm’s Sr Thermal Mechanical Engineer, to the show to discuss the latest in liquid-cooled SSDs. The Solidigm liquid-cooled D7-PS1010 E1.S, the industry’s first cold-plate-cooled SSD. The drive was introduced during GTC 2025 and garnered massive attention during the event and after. Solidigm’s proprietary E1.S SSD case design efficiently channels heat from the non-contact side through the case to the side that interfaces with the cold plate. This promotes efficient cooling on all sides of the drive, improving thermal performance and reliability during demanding workloads.
Cody has been working as a thermal mechanical design engineer for most of his career, designing solutions for companies such as Intel and CoolIT. He performs complex thermal analysis on PCBs with multiple power sources influencing board placement and optimizing conduction paths. Cody is skilled in CFD, CAD, Solidworks, DFMEA, DFM, DFA, CNC, CAM, Thermal data acquisition, thermal analysis, data analysis, server thermal analysis, mechanical tolerance analysis, and HVM design. It is apparent where his interest lies.
Cody’s hobbies included using his CNC Router, woodworking, and welding.
This is a technical discussion on cooling and thermal design. This is a shorter-than-normal podcast, so if you can spare 30 minutes, it’s worth your time. If not, we have broken it down into five-minute segments, so you can find the t
