Jason, the lineup looks spot‑on for where the industry is heading. I’ve been wrestling with the latency gap between flash and emerging persistent‑memory tiers in a couple of AI‑driven edge deployments, and the “Balancing Memory and Storage” session should hit a lot of the same pain points we’re seeing on the ground. I’m especially curious about the liquid‑cooling angle you mentioned with Solidigm. In our last data‑center refresh we tried a hybrid air‑to‑liquid approach, but the control software felt like a black box. Do you think the newer thermal stacks will finally give us the predictability we need for continuous inference workloads? If you have a quick takeaway from the KIOXIA talk, I’d love to hear it—especially around how they’re handling endurance under the agentic‑AI workload patterns we’re starting to see in production.
