KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation announced that its lineup of KIOXIA CD7 Series Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) are now available on servers and storage from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).

The industry’s first EDSFF drives designed with PCIe 5.0 technology, KIOXIA CD7 Series E3.S SSDs increase flash storage density per drive for optimised power efficiency and rack consolidation.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers, HPE Alletra 4000 data storage servers and the HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute Module are enabled with the latest PCIe 5.0 interface, enabling up to twice the performance over PCIe 4.0, and come with optionally equipped EDSFF E3.S drive bays.

According to Kioxia in a statement, as a natural evolution of the 2.5-inch form factor, EDSFF E3.S is designed for the needs of high performance flash storage.

It enables more dense, efficient deployments in the same rack unit compared to 2.5-inch drives, while improving cooling and thermal characteristics and raising capacities by up to 1.5 to 2x.

Available in capacities from 1,920 to 7,680 gigabytes (GB), KIOXIA CD7 E3.S Series data center-class NVMe 1.4 SSDs conform to the EDSFF E3.S specification and feature read-intensive 1 Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) endurance.

Kioxia is a world leader in memory solutions, dedicated to the development, production and sale of flash memory and SSDs.
