Frore Systems and OWC showcase the initial 64TB SSD storage device in a compact form.

Frore Systems, the creator of AirJet Mini, the first-ever solid-state active cooling chip, has showcased a groundbreaking 64 TB SSD storage device with AirJet. This collaboration with OWC, a leader in computer hardware, accessories, and software, features the 64 TB OWC Mercury Pro U.2 Dual storage device with silent active cooling using 8 AirJet Minis. This combination delivers exceptional performance and enables the fastest and most compact 64 TB capacity SSD storage device in its class.

Heat is a major issue in the electronics industry, including SSDs. The excessive heat generated by a fully loaded 64 TB SSD makes traditional cooling methods like noisy mechanical fans or bulky heat sinks ineffective. However, with AirJet, the 64 TB OWC Mercury Pro U.2 Dual storage device can operate between 2200 MB/s to 2600 MB/s sustained sequential writes, allowing for large-scale data storage in a compact form factor. This is particularly beneficial for industries like film and television that require silent, fast, secure, and large-scale storage in portable packages. The live demonstration of the 64 TB OWC Mercury Pro U.2 Dual storage device can be seen at the Flash Memory Summit 2023 in Santa Clara, California. AirJet's breakthrough technology effectively removes heat, meeting the increasing demands of consumers.

Both consumer and professional applications have a growing need for improved performance, which can only be achieved through effective heat removal. Heat is the biggest challenge in the electronics industry, and SSDs are no exception. Until now, manufacturers have relied on expensive liquid cooling systems or outdated thermal solutions like noisy mechanical fans or bulky heat sinks. These inadequate methods cause systems to overheat quickly, resulting in reduced performance and throttling after only a few seconds of operation. This prevents consumers from experiencing the full performance they paid for. Device manufacturers are actively searching for solutions to meet the evolving needs of their customers, and OWC has been proactive in staying ahead of these demands.

"OWC has been a fantastic collaborator with Frore Systems, showcasing how AirJet is revolutionizing the SSD industry," said Dr. Seshu Madhavapeddy, founder and CEO of Frore Systems. Until AirJet, heat removal was the only aspect of modern technology that hadn't changed in decades. The OWC 64 TB Mercury Pro U.2 Dual storage device with AirJet demonstrates the performance gains made possible with solid-state active cooling, opening up new opportunities for the SSD industry.

"It is incredibly exciting to see the application and benefits that the Frore AirJet system brings to our solutions. I am eager to continue advancing our solutions in partnership with Frore," said Larry O'Conner, CEO of OWC. "The technology's ability to increase capacity, improve long-term design, enhance customer experience, and expand application suitability presents endless opportunities."

Frore Systems launched the AirJet Mini in December 2023 and has experienced unprecedented demand for this small yet highly effective active cooling chip. The AirJet Mini is only 2.8 mm thick, 27.5 mm x 41.5 mm in size, and weighs just 11 grams. AirJet is a scalable solution, allowing for additional heat removal by adding more AirJet chips. Each chip removes 5 W of heat, and multiple chips can be easily integrated to remove higher amounts of heat. The compact size and scalability of AirJet enable manufacturers to incorporate this heat removal technology in a wide range of applications, resulting in increased performance in faster, thinner, lighter, silent, and dustproof devices.
