Abstract The quasi-steady state operation is one of the main purposes of EAST tokamak, and more than 400 s discharge pulse has been achieved in the past campaigns. The acquired data amount increases continuously with the discharge length. At the same time to meet the requirement of the upgrade and improvement of the diagnostic systems, more and more data acquisition channels have come into service. Some new diagnostic systems require high sampling rate data acquisition more than 10MSPS. In the last campaign 2014, the data streaming is about 2000MB/s and the total data amount is more than 100TB. How to store the huge data continuously becomes a big problem. A new data storage system based on Lustre has been designed to solve the problem. All the storage nodes and servers are connected to InfiniBand FDR 56Gbps network. The maximum parallel throughput of the total storage system is about 10GB/s. It is easy to expand the storage system by adding I/O nodes when more capacity and performance are required in the future. The new data storage system will be applied in the next campaign of EAST. The system details are given in the paper.
