SEOUL, Nov 13 (Reuters) - SK Hynix's ( HXSCF ) U.S.

subsidiary Solidigm launches the 122 terabyte (TB) enterprise

solid-state drive (eSSD), the company said on Wednesday.

The U.S. subsidiary of the world's second-largest memory

chip maker produces eSSDs, which are seeing rapidly growing

demand as part of the artificial intelligence boom. The 122 TB

eSSD doubles Solidigm's earlier 61.44 TB version.

Micron on Tuesday said it has begun the qualification

of its 60TB data center SSD.

Last month, SK Hynix ( HXSCF ) reported a record quarterly profit as

the Nvidia ( NVDA ) supplier booked strong sales of its advanced

chips, and said demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips

would continue outpace supply next year.
