Explore the complex challenges and emerging solutions for implementing liquid cooling in solid-state drives (SSDs) within AI server environments in this 26-minute conference presentation. Learn about the fundamental problems that arise when attaching cold plates to SSDs, including space constraints due to dual-sided heat generation requiring multiple cold plates per drive and limitations on hot-swapping capabilities. Discover how current SSD standards fall short of addressing critical requirements for effective cold-plate cooling, particularly regarding enclosure thickness and flatness thresholds necessary for optimal thermal connections. Examine innovative developments in SSD liquid cooling technology that enable hot-swapping functionality and allow cooling of dual-sided SSDs with single cold plates. Understand the opportunities for industry collaboration in defining new specifications that will enable comprehensive liquid cooling solutions for all AI server components, including storage systems, and gain insights into the future of thermal management in high-performance computing environments.
