In this year’s Japan IT Week expo, we had a valuable opportunity not only to showcase our latest storage solutions, but more importantly, to engage directly with local customers, partners, and industry professionals.

Enterprise and hyperscale data centers are undergoing a profound transformation. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads is driving unprecedented demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency storage. Legacy 2.5-inch U.2 SSDs, originally designed to replace mechanical hard drives, are increasingly challenged by the thermal, power, and density requirements of next-generation datacenters.

In 2026, several leading technology companies, including Unitree Robotics, Dreame Technology, MagicLab, Galaxy General Robotics, and Songyan Dynamics, were featured during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, highlighting the rapid advancement of China’s humanoid robot technology and robotics industry ecosystem.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence is transforming industries across the globe. From data centers training large AI models to intelligent machines operating at the edge, modern computing systems rely heavily on reliable and high-performance storage.

When selecting SSDs for industrial or enterprise systems, the question of hot-swap capability often arises. Unlike consumer devices, where SSD selection is usually price-driven and straightforward, industrial and

When it comes to industrial SSDs, a common question arises: “Why is the delivery of industrial-grade SSDs always slower, even though they are technically similar to

In industrial environments, the stability and reliability of memory modules are crucial for system performance. Unlike consumer-grade applications, where temperature fluctuations may be manageable, industrial systems often operate under extreme and variable conditions. As a result, industrial-grade memory modules need a “wide temperature design” to ensure their consistent functionality over long periods.

In the world of enterprise and industrial storage, the choice of SSD form factor is not just about fitting components into a designated space. It is a crucial design decision that addresses specific technical and deployment challenges. While smaller form factors such as the widely used 2280 are sufficient for consumer-grade applications, more complex and demanding environments like data centers, edge servers, and industrial systems require specialized storage solutions. This is where the 22110 form factor comes in.

The global SSD market has once again entered a period of rising prices. Driven by tightening NAND supply, disciplined capacity allocation by manufacturers, recovering demand from data centers and AI infrastructure, and continued market consolidation, SSD pricing pressure is no longer limited to short-term fluctuations.
