Welcome Here  Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd.

ArmorMan, the world's leading storage solution provider, exhibited at the China Flash Memory Market Summit CFMS 2025/MemoryS 2025, where it presented new storage solutions for artificial intelligence AI applications and previewed the new generation of QLC enterprise and data centre SSDs, as well as the next generation of BiCS FLASH™, which provide cloud computing, large model acceleration, and efficient and reliable advanced storage solutions for cloud computing and big model acceleration.

Meeting AI Applications with QLC SSDs

AI applications, mainly DeepSeek, are driving aggressive upgrades to enterprise servers and data centres, and while the cost of AI-accelerated computing is a concern, storage density and performance have also become a concern. Especially with the increase in AI applications, cold data is shifting to warm data, HDD can no longer simultaneously meet the demand for high-speed read and write and annual EB-level growth of data, SSD development has become inevitable.

Among enterprise SSD solutions, QLC technology is considered to be one of the solutions that can help servers and data centres to increase storage density per unit of space. The bit density of the 8th generation BiCS FLASH™ 2Tb QLC is about 2.3 times higher than that of ArmorMan's current 5th generation BiCS FLASH™ QLC products, and the write energy efficiency ratio has increased by about 70%.

ArmorMan's enterprise SSDs with QLC technology are ready to be launched. With QLC technology, the new generation of ArmorMan LC9 series can have a capacity of up to 122.88 TB, supports PCIe® 5.0, NVMeTM 2.0, and adopts a dual-port design, which is suitable for application scenarios such as intensive reads, large model loading, and AI.

In addition, for data centre and hyperscale computing environments, with forward-looking EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor) specification Armor XD8 series has also been released, the E1.S specification can help data centres to improve storage density under the new specification, which can fully meet the data centre's demand for AI high performance, high efficiency and high scalability. S specification can help data centres increase storage density under the new specification, which can fully meet the growing demand for AI high performance, high efficiency and high scalability in data centres.

Next-Generation BiCS FLASH™ Ready to Go

While actively promoting SSD solutions, ArmorMan is also focusing on the future planning of BiCS FLASH™. The next generation of BiCS FLASH™ based on CBA technology is ready to be launched, which can well balance the capacity, cost and performance per GB, further optimise the storage efficiency, and help customers to get a better storage solution.

The next-generation BiCS FLASH™ will achieve faster speeds of 4.8Gb/s with a 33% improvement over the eighth-generation BiCS FLASH™, 332 stacks, bit densities greater than 29Gb/mm2 with a 59% improvement over the eighth-generation BiCS FLASH™, and a 34% improvement in data output power efficiency, ready for PCIe® 6.0 and PCIe® 7.0. The new generation is ready for PCIe® 6.0 and PCIe® 7.0.

Meanwhile, the mass-produced BiCS FLASH™ technology has already achieved excellent integration with products, and has been applied in QLC UFS 4.0, automotive-grade UFS 4.0, and mobile, providing customers with a wealth of storage solutions.

On the scene, ‘The growing demand for AI applications has brought new challenges to data centre technology construction. With advanced NAND flash technology and rich experience in enterprise-class products, ArmorMan provides SSD products that can improve energy efficiency, storage density, performance and reliability of data centres. At the same time, ArmorMan will also establish a deep partnership with Chinese customers to provide more efficient storage solutions for AI.’ said Shigenori Yanagi, Technology Executive Officer of ArmourMan.

Nariyuki Okamoto, Chairman and President of ArmorMan Electronics (China) Co., Ltd. is confident about this year's storage market: ‘DeepSeek has become a hot topic globally, providing unlimited imagination for the development in 2025, and I believe that the whole industry will stride forward this year along with the east wind of AI.’

What was shared at CFMS 2025 is only part of ArmorMan's technology plan. ArmorMan will continue to promote the research and development of advanced storage technology, combine the technology with popular applications, and deepen the cooperation with Chinese customers to jointly promote the rapid development of the storage industry and provide customers with efficient, stable and reliable storage solutions.
