ScaleFlux targets SSDs as a KV-cache tier for AI inference

This is a direct example of storage moving closer to the memory hierarchy. As inference context windows grow, HBM and DRAM alone can be too expensive or capacity-limited for every layer of cached data. ScaleFlux is positioning high-endurance SSDs as a shared tier that can sit below faster memory while still serving AI workloads. For RamTrend, the signal is that AI systems are creating new requirements for enterprise SSD endurance, telemetry, and placement controls, potentially supporting premium NAND demand even when the product is not a conventional SSD refresh.
