Solidigm on AI Driving New Era for Data Storage

Co-CEO of Solidigm Xin Guo joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Jake Silverman on this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast to discuss how AI is reshaping data-center storage as NAND flash-memory prices continue their unprecedented rise. They explore the technologies driving greater solid-state-drive adoption, including KV cache, which stores AI models’ working memory during inference, and why the shift to agentic AI could lift NAND content to as much as 25 exabytes (25 million terabytes) per gigawatt of deployed compute. The conversation also examines how longer-term supply contracts may reshape memory cyclicality, creating a different industry cycle over time.
