Kioxia Unveils PCIe 5.0 SSDs For Data Centres With Capacities Up To 30TB

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, dedicated to the development, production and sale of flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs) announced the addition of the KIOXIA CD8P Series to its lineup of data centre-class SSDs.

The KIOXIA CD8P Series is well-suited to general purpose server and cloud environments that can take advantage of PCIe 5.0 (32GT/s x4) performance. These data centre applications can generate complex mixed workloads spread across large scale virtualised systems in 24x7 operational data centres.

According to a statement, the new drives are available in capacities up to 30.72 terabytes (TB) and in both Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S and 2.5-inch (U.2) form factors.

Optimised for the performance, latency, reduced power and thermal requirements of data centre environments where power and cooling efficiency is critical, the KIOXIA CD8P Series provides the predictability and consistency needed for a seamless user experience.

The KIOXIA CD8P Series realises approximately 60 per cent to 80 per cent increase in sequential read performance when compared to previous generation PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

The new data centre drives are based on the KIOXIA BiCS FLASH generation 5, 3D flash memory triple-level cell (TLC) technology, and utilise an in-house developed controller.

Additional features and benefits include full data reliability with end-to-end data protection, power loss protection and flash die failure recovery, and security options availability.
