FADU said on the 4th that during Asia's largest information technology (IT) trade show, COMPUTEX 2026, held in Taipei, Taiwan, from the 2nd to the 5th, it will move to penetrate the data center and server markets in Asia.

This year's COMPUTEX is being held under the theme "AI Together," featuring three core keywords: AI and computing, Robotics and mobility, and next-generation technologies, with about 1,500 corporations participating, including global big tech corporations.

At this event, FADU unveiled a physical sample of its Gen6 SSD controller for the first time. According to FADU, the Gen6 product more than doubles performance and power efficiency compared with the Gen5 generation, and it also delivers industry-leading random read and write performance for large block sizes, which are crucial for inference storage. In addition, the Gen6 architecture applies the SSD software technology FDP (Flexible Data Placement), enabling optimization of performance and the write amplification factor (WAF) for multi-model AI inference.

FADU also introduced responses to rising storage demand and bottlenecks in AI data center environments through a demo titled "A new paradigm of AI infrastructure: Storage innovation driven by AI inference." With this, the strategy is to strengthen technical collaboration with major clients in the Asian market and secure new partnership opportunities.

Meanwhile, FADU has recently been expanding supply contracts in Asian markets including Taiwan. After beginning a strategic collaboration with ADATA last year, it moved into a trilateral partnership with ADATA and GIGABYTE in Oct. the same year. As a result, this year alone it signed corporations SSD supply contracts worth a total of 60.4 billion won in the Taiwan market. In addition, boosted by rising SSD controller demand from hyperscaler clients, as of early June this year, new orders have surpassed 300 billion won.

Powered by the collaboration, ADATA unveiled the corporations SSD "TRUSTA TD7P51 ECO," which applies FADU's SSD controller and solution technologies, at COMPUTEX 2026. Supporting up to 15.36TB and the U.2, E1.S, and E3.S form factors, the TD7P51 ECO incorporates FDP technology, which the company says boosts performance and operational efficiency through intelligent data placement.

Nam I-hyeon, CEO of FADU, said, "COMPUTEX is an important opportunity to showcase FADU's SSD controller capabilities and innovation to the global market in Taiwan and Asia—one of the key strategic markets—alongside the core North American hyperscaler ecosystem," adding, "By promoting customer diversification and revenue growth through collaboration with key partners such as ADATA, we will carry forward the first-quarter turnaround momentum and make this year the first year of a revenue and profit 'quantum jump.'"
