Storage for AI & Deep Learning
Fast storage is critical for AI workloads. PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs deliver up to 12,400 MB/s read speeds, dramatically reducing data loading times and training iteration cycles. Whether you're working with large datasets, checkpoints, or need high-capacity enterprise storage, the right SSD configuration can eliminate I/O bottlenecks.

Understanding Storage for AI Workloads
Why Storage Speed Matters
- • Faster data loading reduces training time per epoch
- • Quick checkpoint saves/loads during long training runs
- • Efficient dataset preprocessing and augmentation pipelines
- • PCIe 5.0 delivers up to 2x faster speeds than PCIe 4.0
Capacity Recommendations
- • 1-2TB: Personal projects, small datasets
- • 4TB: Research workstations, medium datasets
- • 8TB+: Enterprise, large-scale training
- • 16TB Arrays: Data centers, multi-GPU systems
