Kioxia Corporation and Dell Technologies have unveiled a new high-density server setup that pushes flash storage capacity to 9.8 petabytes inside a single 2U system. That number alone tells you where enterprise infrastructure is heading right now, especially with AI workloads exploding across industries.
The setup combines Dell’s PowerEdge R7725xd server with AMD EPYC processors and 40 KIOXIA LC9 Series 245.76TB NVMe SSDs. According to Kioxia, this is the first server configuration at this density level, and it is aimed directly at AI infrastructure, hyperscale environments, and massive enterprise data workloads.
What makes this interesting is not just the raw storage number. It is the space and power equation behind it. Kioxia claims that a similar 9.8PB arrangement, but done with the more traditional 30.72TB SSDs, would actually take seven more servers and roughly 280 additional drives. That in turn means a lot more rack room too, along with heavier cooling needs, and extra power use. The company claims this newer configuration cuts power usage dramatically while keeping the footprint far smaller.

The LC9 Series SSDs run on PCIe 5.0 and are designed specifically for AI-heavy environments where huge datasets need to move fast between storage, compute, and training systems. Dell says the PowerEdge system also supports up to five 400Gbps network connections, helping data pipelines move faster across AI workflows.
This is basically the infrastructure side of the AI race becoming more aggressive. Everyone is talking about AI models, but behind the scenes, storage density, power efficiency, and data movement are becoming just as important as GPU performance.
