Silicon Motion Expands AI Storage Portfolio With PCIe Gen6 Controllers
Silicon Motion will showcase its MonTitan enterprise SSD controllers at SC26 from November 16 through November 19. The company will demonstrate its latest storage platforms at Booth 6816 during the four-day technology conference. These products target growing storage demands from AI factories, large-scale inference systems, and automated AI applications.
The SM8466 PCIe Gen6 controller delivers sequential throughput of up to 28 GB/s and seven million random IOPS. The controller supports enterprise SSD capacities exceeding 512TB for data-intensive computing environments. These capabilities help storage systems manage larger datasets and support high-bandwidth operations across modern AI infrastructure.
Silicon Motion will also present its SM8366 MonTitan reference platform for AI inference and KV cache offload. The PCIe Gen5 platform supports SSD capacities reaching 256TB through QLC NAND technology. Furthermore, its PerformaShape QoS Engine manages latency and delivers consistent performance across demanding enterprise storage workloads.
Silicon Motion Targets Hyperscale Data Centers and AI Infrastructure
The company will introduce its SM8388 PCIe Gen5 controller for high-capacity nearline SSD applications. This controller uses a single-controller architecture to balance storage performance, power consumption, and operating costs. Consequently, hyperscale data centers can expand flash storage capacity while managing energy requirements across large deployments.
Silicon Motion will also demonstrate enterprise PCIe NVMe boot drive solutions for AI servers and networking systems. Its DRAM-less designs support M.2 and BGA form factors for compact enterprise storage applications. Additionally, the company will demonstrate a boot drive solution alongside NVIDIA’s DPU platform.
Another PCIe Gen5 boot SSD controller supports storage capacities ranging from 480GB to 3.84TB. The solution delivers sequential read speeds reaching 14 GB/s and supports M.2 2280 and E1.S formats. These features address server logging, metadata management, and frequent data access across enterprise computing systems.
SC26 Showcase Highlights Silicon Motion’s Enterprise Storage Strategy
Silicon Motion designs NAND flash controllers for solid-state storage devices across consumer and enterprise markets. Its MonTitan portfolio extends that controller expertise into higher-capacity storage systems for AI infrastructure. The company also develops embedded storage products for servers and other computing applications.
At SC26, Silicon Motion will highlight its Ferri-eMMC embedded storage solution with the ASPEED AST2600 BMC. This demonstration will focus on embedded storage applications within server management systems and data center infrastructure. Together, these demonstrations cover enterprise SSD performance, server boot storage, and embedded storage requirements.
The upcoming showcase places Silicon Motion’s latest controllers alongside technologies supporting expanding AI computing workloads. Its portfolio combines high-capacity SSD designs, faster data transfer, and power-efficient storage architectures. The November event will provide a platform to demonstrate these capabilities to enterprise storage and infrastructure customers.
