Different AI phases mean different SSD behavior. On-device AI SSDs aren’t just storing files — it's feeding the AI engine in real time. And peak speed alone won't predict how fast your AI responds. What matters: sustained bandwidth, low-latency reads, consistent QoS, and endurance. We broke down how SSD behavior shapes four critical phases of on-device AI inference: 📦 Model Load 💾 KV Cache Offload and Reload 🔍 RAG Retrieval 🔁 Decode Under Memory Pressure. Swipe through to see why storage is a first-order design variable for on-device AI. ⬇️
