• Made in India, BRYCK Block delivers petabyte-scale SSDs

Bengaluru, India; August 25, 2025: Tsecond, a global leader in edge AI infrastructure, today announced the launch of BRYCK Block – a modular, fault-tolerant 128TB U.2 NVMe SSD designed to deliver petabyte-scale storage at the tactical edge.

Aligned with the Government of India’s “Make in India” (Class 2) initiative, BRYCK Block is manufactured and assembled in Tsecond’s Bengaluru facility and optimized for real-time operations in defense, aerospace, manufacturing, and public sector deployments where data survivability, scale, and sovereign control are critical.

“India’s digital infrastructure is rapidly evolving, and AI workloads are moving closer to the edge,” said Rajesh Mehta, Chairman of Tsecond India. “Built in India, BRYCK Block not only delivers unmatched storage density, but does so with modularity and resilience that Indian enterprises and government users demand.”

“BRYCK Block introduces a completely new architectural model for SSDs,” added Manavalan Krishnan, CTO of Tsecond. “We’ve embedded eight fully independent NVMe modules inside a single U.2 form factor, enabling software-defined RAID and erasure coding, predictable sustained throughput, and field-repairability — all essential for AI and mission-critical workloads.”

Each BRYCK Block drive consumes a maximum of 25W, delivering exceptional power efficiency alongside high performance. Built to operate with any ruggedized edge or enterprise server equipped with U.2 slots, BRYCK Block offers plug-and-play compatibility. It scales easily across 8-bay to 24-bay systems — enabling up to 1PB in a 1U chassis and 3PB in a standard 2U server — without requiring costly rip-and-replace upgrades.

Key Features:

  • 128TB raw capacity in a compact U.2 form factor
  • Eight modular NVMe controllers, independently managed
  •  Software-defined RAID-5, RAID-6, and erasure coding
  •  Fault-tolerant, field-repairable design
  • AES-256 encryption, TCG Opal 2.0 compliant
  • 25W max power consumption per drive 

Ideal for:

  • Defense & ISR: rugged AI systems, mobile command centers, UAVs
  • Industrial Edge: robotics, manufacturing, smart grids
  • Public Sector & Smart Cities: scalable storage for AI, video surveillance, and analyticsAvailability:
    BRYCK Block is now available for strategic partners and pilot programs in India. Tsecond is actively engaging Indian defense organizations, state agencies, and infrastructure operators to support deployments across critical sectors.
