Future of Memory and Storage - Day 1 @ 09:05
Staying Cool in the Storage Neighborhood
Direct liquid cooling (DLC) is the hot new thing. The E1.S and E3 form factor specifications have both added DLC support, to keep data warm and drives cool running at PCIe 6. But power is expected to increase as SSD bandwidth increases for PCIe 7 and PCIe 8. How will systems cool those higher power devices without tempers flaring? This talk will go through how Micron views the future of liquid and air cooling, discussing their interdependence and the challenges faced when optimizing a product for both cooling solutions.
