"As an established leader in the development of PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ Express™ SSDs, Kioxia continues to push the boundaries of flash storage performance," said Paul Rowan, Vice President of SSD Marketing and Engineering at Kioxia Europe GmbH. "We were the first company to publicly showcase PCIe® 4.0 SSDs, and now we are the first to begin shipping these next-generation drives.".
CM6 Enterprise Series NVMe SSDs:
With dual ports for high availability, the Kioxia CM6 Series PCIe® 4.0, Gen4 4-lane (or Dual-port, 2-lane) and NVMe™ 1.4 Enterprise SSDs deliver best-in-class sequential and random read/write performance of up to 6.9 GB/s and up to 1.4M IOPS. This represents improvements of up to 2x over their PCIe® 3.0 predecessors and is 12x faster than typical SATA drives. Designed for enterprise applications and use cases, including high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, caching, financial activities, and data analytics, the CM6 Series is available in capacities up to 30.72TB.
CD6 Series NVMe SSDs for Data Centers
are single-port PCIe® 4.0, Gen4 4-lane, NVMe™ 1.4 data center SSDs designed for hyperscale data centers and general-purpose applications such as databases, cloud/container environments, web servers, and media streaming. The CD6 Series will be available in capacities up to 15.36TB, with throughput up to 6.2GB/s and 1.0M IOPS.
Both the CM6 and CD6 series offer 1 DWPD (Drive Write Per Day) and 3 DWPD (Drive Write Per Day) options and include a wide range of security and encryption features. Furthermore, the new SSDs have successfully passed PCI-SIG Workshop compliance and are listed by UNH-IOL integrators for NVMe™ 1.4 device compatibility.
