Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that it started sample shipments of 2Tb (tera bit) Quad-Level-Cell (QLC) memory devices with its eighth-generation BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology. This 2Tb QLC device has the highest capacity in the industry, elevating storage devices to a new capacity point that will drive growth in multiple application segments including AI.

With its latest BiCS FLASH technology, Kioxia has achieved both vertical and lateral scaling of memory die through proprietary processes and innovative architectures. In addition, the company has implemented the groundbreaking CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology, which enables the creation of higher density devices and an industry-leading interface speed of 3.6Gbps. Together, these advanced technologies are applied in the creation of 2Tb QLC, resulting in the industry’s highest capacity memory device.

The 2Tb QLC is equipped with a bit density approx. 2.3 times higher and a write power efficiency approx. 70 percent higher than Kioxia’s current fifth-generation QLC device which is the highest capacity in Kioxia’s products. With a 16-die stacked architecture in a single memory package, the latest QLC device achieves industry-leading 4TB (tera byte) of capacity. It is available with a smaller package size of 11.5 x 13.5mm and a package height of 1.5mm.

M.2 SSDs are true speed miracles. However, they tend to reach high temperatures quickly during intensive use and reduce performance early to avoid overheating.

The M2 Pro was specifically designed for 2280 M.2 SSDs. Thanks to its additional mass, it not only keeps the temperature under control, but also ensures that the SSD can cool down more quickly. This enables reliable performance and a long service life.

kioxia cm7 enterprise ssdKioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced that KIOXIA PCIe® 5.0 NVMe™ SSDs have been successfully tested for compatibility and interoperability with the Xinnor, Ltd. (“Xinnor”) RAID solution and achieved up to 25x higher performance running PostgreSQL than software RAID solutions with the same hardware configuration. This solution will be demonstrated in the KIOXIA booth at COMPUTEX TAIPEI, which will be held from June 4 to June 7.

PostgreSQL (with the pgvector extension) and vector databases are becoming more important for generative AI and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems than before, and these results demonstrate the performance gains utilizing Xinnor’s xiRAID Opus and KIOXIA PCIe® 5.0 NVMe™ SSDs solution for a generative AI and RAG application.

New servers with the PCIe® 5.0 interface and corresponding high-speed SSDs are in demand for high performance applications, such as generative AI, and the importance of PCIe® 5.0-compatible SSDs to support this demand is increasing. The Kioxia and Xinnor high performance software RAID solution maximizes the performance of PCIe® 5.0 SSDs for AI, Machine Learning (ML), and data analytics applications in on-premises enterprise data centers. KIOXIA CM7 Series SSDs successfully completed compatibility testing performed by both parties.
