KIOXIA
formerly known as Toshiba Memory AmericaHas introduced its new enterprise solid
state drives this week in the form of the PCIe 4.0 NVMeTM SSD range, having
achieved PCI-SIG compliance for PCIe 4.0 and University of New Hampshire
InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) certification.
Features
of the PCIe 4.0 Enterprise NVMe SSD
–
Utilizes KIOXIA’s 96-layer BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory
– PCIe
2×2 or 1×4 lane configuration options
–
Targeted transfer rates up to 6,900 MB/s
–
Supports SFF-TA-1001 (also known as U.3) operation with Universal Backplanes
for simplified customer use with SAS, SATA and NVMe SSDs
The
first company to publicly demonstrate PCIe 4.0 SSDs, KIOXIA has established
itself as a leader in developing PCIe 4.0 NVM Express SSDs and continues to
push the limits of flash storage performance. The CM6 Series brings planned
performance improvements of 3x over its PCIe 3.0 predecessors and is 12x faster
than SATA drives. KIOXIA’s lineup of Gen4 PCIe SSDs also includes the CD6
Series, which is targeted to cloud and scale-out environments.
KIOXIA
America will be on hand at Supercomputing 2019 later this month to showcase new
levels of flash performance enabled by its CM6 Series SSDs.
