DapuStor Sees QLC Enterprise SSD Boom Amid AI Integration Surges
“AI Growth Drives SSD Demand to New Heights”
As AI-integrated devices gain traction across global markets, enterprise SSD solutions are entering a new era of demand. Yang Yafei,Dr Yang, Chairman of DapuStor, notes that the arrival of the AI age will usher in a “golden cycle” for NAND flash over the next two decades. The rise of all-in-one AI systems, such as the popular DeepSeek device, lowers the entry barrier for SMEs to deploy AI models, significantly accelerating edge AI adoption. According to Dr YangYang, demand for SSDs is expected to grow by around 20% in 2025, driven by increased deployment across data centers and intelligent endpoints.
“DapuStor Delivers 122TB QLC SSD at Scale with Tailored Solutions”
As one of China’s leading enterprise SSD manufacturers, DapuStor recently launched a 122TB QLC SSD—doubling the capacity of its previous 61TB version—demonstrating its readiness for large-scale production. With a stable supply chain and flexible sourcing strategies tailored to client needs and global shipping destinations, DapuStor aims to support hyperscalers and enterprise clients with scalable storage innovation.
SSD: The Missing Piece in AI Infrastructure
Yang emphasizes that, unlike GPUs or HBM which drive the first wave of AI investment, SSDs will become indispensable as inference workloads mature. HDDs struggle with random read/write operations, which are essential for AI inference tasks. SSDs, with their low latency and high throughput, offer a critical advantage—especially when paired with QLC NAND, which provides TCO savings of up to one-third compared to TLC NAND.
With DeepSeek catalyzing a democratization of AI capabilities, particularly among SMEs, Yang predicts that demand for SSD-powered edge AI will see an annual growth rate of 20% in 2025—surpassing the historical average. He further adds that QLC NAND is poised to expand from consumer-grade storage into enterprise-level applications, solidifying SSDs as a cornerstone of next-generation AI infrastructure.
