FADU Forms 'Triangular Partnership' with Taiwan's ADATA and GIGACOMPUTING to Build Next-Generation SSD Ecosystem

Solutions for Enhanced Energy Efficiency in the AI Era
Enabling Real-Time Data Processing and Large-Scale Analytics
Strengthening Three-Way Joint Marketing and Collaboration in Taiwan

FADU, a company specializing in data centers, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Taiwanese companies ADATA and GIGACOMPUTING to build a next-generation solid-state drive (SSD) ecosystem.

On October 15, FADU announced that this partnership centers on ADATA’s newly launched enterprise brand, TRUSTA, combining FADU’s controller technology, ADATA’s SSD expertise, and GIGACOMPUTING’s advanced server engineering capabilities. The initiative aims to deliver solutions that redefine performance and energy efficiency in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).

According to market research firm TrendForce, by 2030, the volume of AI inference data is expected to reach 3.8 times that of training data, and energy consumption demand is projected to increase by 1.65 times compared to 2023. As a result, energy-efficient storage solutions are emerging as a key trend.

The flagship product, TRUSTA T7P5 PCIe 5.0 SSD, validated on GIGACOMPUTING platforms, achieves high performance and outstanding power efficiency, making it an optimized model for building next-generation AI infrastructure.

At Computex 2025 held last May, Taiwanese SSD module company ADATA collaborated with Pado to newly launch the enterprise SSD brand "TRUSTA."

This product is equipped with FADU’s Gen.5 controller and has been validated on GIGACOMPUTING’s latest server platforms, including Intel Xeon 6 and AMD EPYC 9005 series.

The TRUSTA SSD, which has obtained QVL (Qualified Vendor List) certification proving SSD compatibility, features high-speed read speeds of 13,500 MB/s, high-speed write speeds of 10,300 MB/s, and a power efficiency of 447 MB per watt.

With durability rated at 3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), indicating the number of times the entire storage capacity can be written and erased per day, it is capable of handling intensive computing tasks such as AI training, real-time data processing, and large-scale data analytics and processing (OLTP/OLAP).

FADU is actively pursuing a white-label SSD business through its collaboration with ADATA. The company has begun sampling TRUSTA Gen5 SSDs to major Taiwanese server manufacturers and is conducting validation and compatibility tests.

In particular, as a next step following the supply of finished SSD products, FADU and ADATA are also engaged in joint development and commercialization from a mid- to long-term perspective. The two companies are seeking synergy by leveraging FADU’s enterprise SSD solutions and proven technology, as well as ADATA’s mass production infrastructure and global customer network.

Having completed quality verification and compatibility testing on GIGACOMPUTING’s major platforms, the product has been listed on the QVL, and based on this, FADU, ADATA, and GIGACOMPUTING are expanding sales opportunities through joint marketing activities.

Additionally, validation and compatibility testing are underway for major platforms at other leading server manufacturers in Taiwan, with plans to pursue joint marketing in the future.

In the Chinese market, FADU is expanding its white-label SSD business collaboration based on partnerships with module companies, thereby seeking to broaden sales opportunities. Discussions are also actively underway regarding sales opportunities for server and data center customers in China.

Lee Jihyo, CEO of FADU, stated, “FADU is not only supplying controllers optimized for AI data centers to multiple hyperscale companies, but is also strengthening its presence in the Asian market through strategic collaborations with partners such as ADATA and GIGACOMPUTING in Taiwan.”
