Innovative Combination of Solidigm D7-PS1010 E1.S 9.5mm Form Factor and Cold-Plate Technology to Help Enable Industry’s First Fully Fanless GPU Servers

Solidigm, a pioneer in enterprise data storage, unveiled at the GTC AI Conference one of the world’s first liquid-cooled enterprise solid state drives (eSSDs) — helping remove the fans historically needed for storage devices and enabling future fully liquid-cooled artificial intelligence (AI) servers.

Until now, the ability to deploy a completely liquid-cooled training server has been hampered by challenges with certain components. Traditional SSD direct liquid cooling (DLC) designs cool only one side of each SSD and prevent hot swapping. To enable more compact designs and decrease cooling costs, it is imperative these servers adopt a complete liquid-cooling approach to enable more compact designs while addressing architectural needs for all the components.

Solidigm has worked with NVIDIA to address eSSD liquid-cooling challenges, such as hot swap-ability and single-side cooling constraints. At GTC 2025, Solidigm is demonstrating the first cold-plate cooled eSSDs featuring the Solidigm D7-PS1010 E1.S 9.5mm form factor.

“Solidigm shows how the combination of an innovative Solidigm E1.S SSD and liquid cold-plate kit — both first-to-market innovations — deliver significant benefits in thermal efficiency while maintaining data center grade serviceability,” said Kevin Noh, Co-CEO of Solidigm.

Available for AI servers in the second half of this year, the Solidigm E1.S SSD and cold-plate kit continue Solidigm’s packaging innovation leadership that has inspired enterprise SSDs, including Solidigm being the first to deploy the “ruler” form factor.

Meanwhile, the Solidigm D7-PS1010 E1.S will also come in 15mm form factor to add flexibility of design for air-cooled server and storage systems.
