Hagiwara Solutions has released the N700K Series, a new industrial NVMe SSD aimed at edge AI and infrastructure systems. The product is positioned for environments where AI inference, video analysis, and log processing are handled close to the field, not in centralized data centers. In many of these systems, storage is shifting away from SATA and toward NVMe and PCIe Gen4 to keep up with data volume and processing speed.
The N700K Series uses an enterprise-grade NVMe controller combined with industrial-grade TLC NAND. It supports PCIe Gen4 x4 and NVMe 1.4, delivering high throughput for edge workloads that need fast and stable access to data. Sequential read speeds reach over 7,000 MB/s, with strong random performance for simultaneous sensor, image, and AI processing.
Form factor flexibility is a key focus. The lineup includes M.2 2280 for compact edge devices, U.2 for edge and storage servers, and E1.S, which Hagiwara is commercializing for the first time. This supports high-density designs in 1U and 2U servers where airflow and space matter.

The SSD is designed for industrial use, with wide operating temperature options, power loss protection using polymer capacitors, and capacities from 480GB up to 7.68TB. It also supports monitoring through LiveMonitorPlus and secure data erasure features for long-term, controlled deployment in infrastructure and edge systems.
