SK Hynix Tiger 4TC PE8111 E1.L QLC SSD 61.44TB

The SK Hynix Tiger 4TC PE8111 E1.L is a 61.44 TB QLC NAND enterprise SSD built on SK Hynix's 4th-generation 128-layer QLC NAND architecture and housed in the E1.L (Ruler) form factor — a 110 mm × 31.6 mm slab-style module standardized under the EDSFF specification. The drive interfaces via PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe 1.4, delivering sequential read throughput designed for the extreme capacity densities required by hyperscale and enterprise capacity-tier deployments. Its Ruler form factor enables dramatically higher storage density per rack unit compared with traditional 2.5-inch or HHHL configurations, making it purpose-built for high-density JBOF (Just a Bunch of Flash) enclosures and server sled architectures.

The PE8111 controller paired with SK Hynix's QLC NAND is tuned for read-intensive and mixed-read workloads characteristic of AI inference data lakes, warm-tier object storage, and large-scale analytics repositories. QLC technology stores four bits per cell, enabling the 61.44 TB raw capacity in a single module while the drive's firmware applies advanced ECC, data path protection, and intelligent wear-leveling algorithms to maintain data integrity and endurance appropriate for read-dominant access patterns. End-to-end data protection, power-loss protection capacitors, and T10 DIF (Data Integrity Field) support are incorporated to meet enterprise reliability standards.

Targeted at organizations building next-generation AI data lakes, media repositories, backup-to-flash tiers, and content delivery origins, the Tiger 4TC PE8111 E1.L addresses the industry shift toward software-defined storage architectures that demand maximum usable terabytes per watt and per rack unit. Its native NVMe protocol eliminates SAS/SATA translation overhead, preserving low-latency random-read characteristics even at this capacity point, and the E1.L physical form factor integrates cleanly into EDSFF-ready chassis from leading server and storage platform vendors.

Ideal for

• AI and machine learning data lake storage — serving large-scale training datasets and feature stores from a capacity-optimized, high-density flash tier
• Hyperscale object storage nodes — replacing spinning-disk tiers in S3-compatible or Swift-based clusters to reduce footprint and access latency
• Backup-to-flash and secondary storage — accelerating restore operations and consolidating backup repositories into a smaller physical footprint
• Media and entertainment asset repositories — storing high-resolution video, RAW image archives, and post-production assets with rapid random-read access
• Content delivery origin storage — holding large static content libraries in high-density JBOF shelves to serve CDN edge nodes at scale
• Enterprise data warehouse warm tier — offloading infrequently queried but latency-sensitive analytical datasets from primary all-flash arrays
