NVMe Storage PCB Applications and Manufacturing Requirements for AI Servers
AI training, inference, and large-scale data processing involve frequent read and write operations for models, datasets, and intermediate data, placing high demands on the data throughput and access efficiency of server storage systems. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs based on the PCIe interface are widely used in server and data center storage systems. In some AI servers, local NVMe SSDs are used for system storage, data caching, and temporary data read/write operations, providing high-speed local storage support for computing workloads. AI servers can be configured with NVMe SSDs of different specifications and form factors according to system architecture and storage requirements. As PCIe data rates increase, meeting signal integrity requirements calls for tighter control of PCB material properties, circuit fabrication precision, impedance, and via structures. Different servers and NVMe storage devices vary in interfaces, board structur...
