This hardened SSD could one day power data centers in space and CDNs in low orbit – Seagate transports a 2TB SSD to the ISS with AI workflows on the agenda

Seagate and BAE Systems tested the first high-capacity data storage solution designed for use in space.

The hardened SSD was evaluated aboard the International Space Station as part of a mission aimed at improving data storage for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, addressing challenges such as heat dissipation, unpressurized environments and the absence of conventional cooling.
