TechPowerUp · November 13, 2026

Kioxia and Dell have managed to fit a massive 157 PB of raw flash storage into a single 42U server rack. The configuration runs Dell's software-defined ObjectScale object storage platform on 16 PowerEdge R7725xd servers, which together carry 640 of Kioxia's 245.76 TB LC9 Series SSDs. Kioxia calls it the industry's first 157 PB single-rack object store, a claim it bases on its own market survey. Ea
