For $5 more than the 990 Pro, Samsung’s 14,700 MB/s 9100 Pro SSD is an easy upgrade
THE SO WHAT
Gen5 SSDs hitting 14,700 MB/s at marginal cost over prior flagships means storage is no longer the obvious bottleneck for many AI and analytics workloads—your constraints move to CPU, PCIe lanes, and software. Infra teams should revisit where they’re overpaying for NVMe in the cloud versus buying raw throughput on-prem or at the edge.

Deep & Emerging TechEverWind To Build Nova Scotia Data Center, Lease to AI Developer
A C$10B data center and wind buildout in Nova Scotia — framed as the province’s largest private investment — shows AI compute is now an energy and regional industrial policy lever. If you run large models, your site selection team needs to think like a power developer, not just a cloud buyer.
Deep & Emerging TechVeritas expands its anti-counterfeit chip to jewelry, trophies, and fragrance bottles
Embedding anti-counterfeit chips in jewelry and fragrance bottles turns physical goods into verifiable endpoints — and creates new data exhaust for brands. Luxury operators should be planning how to use item-level authenticity not just for enforcement, but for CRM and resale.
Deep & Emerging TechBlue Origin to add new Florida launch pads, seeks aggressive increase in New Glenn flight rate
More launch pads, expanded manufacturing, and new landing barges point to orbital access becoming more like scheduled freight than bespoke events. If your strategy depends on space-based sensing or comms, start planning around higher cadence and lower marginal launch costs rather than one-off missions.
Deep & Emerging TechAnderon Releases First Superconducting Quantum PDK
A superconducting quantum PDK is a step toward making quantum chip design look more like conventional EDA workflows. For teams with any quantum roadmap, this is a cue to start building internal design and simulation capability rather than waiting for fully packaged systems.
