SK hynix Unveils AI-NAND AIN Family for AI Inference at OCP 2025 Summit

SK hynix  presented its next-generation NAND storage product strategy at the 2025 OCP (Open Compute Project) Global Summit, held in San Jose, California, from October 13 to 16. The company addressed the rapid growth of the AI inference market, where demand for NAND storage products to process large volumes of data quickly and efficiently is increasing.

SK hynix introduced the AIN (AI-NAND) Family lineup of solution products optimized for the AI era. Chun Sung Kim, Head of eSSD Product Development at SK hynix, presented the AIN Family during the Executive Session on the second day of the event. The AIN Family consists of NAND solution products optimized for performance, bandwidth, and density to support enhanced data processing speed and storage capacity.

AIN P (Performance) is a solution designed to process large volumes of data generated under large-scale AI inference workloads. It minimizes the bottleneck between storage and AI operations to boost processing speed and energy efficiency. SK hynix is designing NAND and controllers with new structures and plans to release samples by the end of 2026.

AIN D (Density) is a high-density solution for storing large amounts of AI data with low power consumption and cost. The company targets increasing density to petabyte (PB) level from terabyte (TB) of current QLC-based SSDs. It aims for a mid-end storage ...
