Innodisk has launched its E1.S SSD designed to support Edge computing and AI advancements, for applications requiring high reliability and efficiency.
The E1.S Edge server SSD offers high performance, reliability and thermal management capabilities to address the crucial needs of modern, data-intensive environments and to bridge the gap between traditional industrial SSDs and data centre SSDs.
Following the evolution of AI and 5G technologies, demands on data processing and storage are continuing to grow. The E1.S SSD addresses the challenges of balancing heat dissipation and performance, which has become a major concern for today’s SSDs. Traditional industrial and data centre SSDs can struggle to meet the
needs of Edge applications. Innodisk’s E1.S eliminates these bottlenecks with its Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) design and offers a superior alternative to U.2 and M.2 SSDs.
The E1.S SSD is engineered to excel in demanding environments, featuring robust thermal management capabilities, including dynamic thermal throttling technology and a wide operating temperature range of-40°C to 85°C.
With capacity options ranging from 400GB to 8TB and high drive writes per day (DWPD) support, this versatile drive serves both as an efficient boot drive for data centres and a reliable storage solution for high-performance computing applications. Its exceptional durability and compact form factor make it particularly well-suited for deployment in 1U servers, AI systems, and machine-learning environments.
Optimised for PCIe Gen 5, the E1.S addresses the heat dissipation and power challenges typical in M.2 1/2 SSDs under high-performance workloads. Its hot-plug design ensures seamless upgrades while reducing downtime. The E1.S has been validated for next-gen industrial computers and Edge servers, including integration into NVIDIA’s MGX short-form edge AI server.
The E1.S standard temperature series also serves as a robust boot drive for data centres, featuring hot-swappable capability and advanced features—including
SSD event logs, self-monitoring, and online firmware updates. For larger server infrastructures, Innodisk offers the E3.S SSD with additional capacity and durability.
