Back to Podcast EpisodesPodcast #143: KIOXIA 245TB SSDs Are Here!
KIOXIA’s Maulik Sompura joins Brian for an in-depth, informative discussion about all things flash and other industry events. The topic is timely and relevant, given the massive expansion of AI and modern workloads.
Maulik Sompura is the Senior Staff Director—Product Planning and Management at KIOXIA, with over 13 years of experience in NAND, memory, and SSDs, including the last six years at KIOXIA. Additionally, his career includes stints with Intel and Toshiba.
The conversation extends beyond storage and memory, transitioning to liquid cooling, hyperscalers, and form factors. They also discuss open-source software, new fabs, concerns about scaling, and fears of another “Covid-boom-and-bust” event.
It is an informative conversation that will prompt you to think about something in the long term. We’ve broken the podcast into five-minute segments, so you can jump to the section that’s most relevant to you and your environment. However, it is well worth the time to watch this in its entirety.
Brian and Maulik kick off the discussion with how radically SSDs and flash storage have evolved, especially under the pressure of AI and hyperscale data centers.
