➀ Meta proposes a new E2 SSD form factor to support 1PB+ capacities with 80W power, enabling storage servers to scale alongside GPU compute infrastructure;
➁ The E2 design maximizes QLC NAND density and thermal efficiency while leveraging existing EDSFF connectors, aiming to reduce storage costs through higher capacity-per-drive economics;
➂ Industry projections show SSD capacities could reach 1PB by 2029, with E1.S drives dominating performance tiers and E2 drives revolutionizing high-density storage deployments.
