- Kioxia CM9 Series SSDS Use 8. Gen Bics Flash to Enterprise Performance
- Faster NAND -speeds and effect efficiency supports AI and data centers
- Offers 61.44TB MAX, design of double port and massive writing improvements
Kioxia has announced its CM9 series PCIE 5.0 NVME SSDS, which marks the first business drives built using its 8th generation Bics Flash 3D TLC memory.
With PCIE 5.0 and NVME 2.0 support, the CM9 SSDs are designed to meet modern standards for storing data center by offering high -efficiency storage capable of supporting AI, machine learning and high prestations computing.
These new SSDs have CMOs that are directly tied to array (CBA) architecture, an update designed to improve performance, effect efficiency and memory density. Kioxia’s use of CBA-based flash architecture promises faster NAND interface speeds and lower latency, helping the drives provide faster data access and improved effect efficiency.
Top-Tier Bitensity
Compared to the previous CM7 series, the CM9 line shows increases of approx. 65% in random writing speeds, 55% in random reading and 95% in sequential writing speeds.
CM9 SSDs, currently sampling to choose customers, are built to handle reading-intensive and mixed use workload in company data centers and offers capacities up to 61.44TB in 2.5-inch form and 30.72TB in E3.S configurations.
The drives are compatible with both NVME-MI 1.2C and OCP data center NVME SSD 2.5 specifications and supports double port configurations, making them suitable for business environments where reliability and continuous access are critical.
Kioxia, which recently helped Linus Tech Tip The Smash PI calculation World record, says that gains in effect efficiency include approx. 55% better sequential reading and 75% better sequential writing performance per Watt.
Although it is early in the life cycle of the CM9 series, the specifications and performance numbers suggest that the company aims to strengthen its position in the high-preparation business storage.
Axel Stoermann, Vice President and CTO of embedded memory, and SSD, Kioxia Europe GmbH, said: “Alongside the treatment effect and energy efficiency, the memory is fundamental to enable AI, machine learning and high prestanscomputing uses. Storage requirements that require top-te density, fast data, and quickly, and it is unique efficiency that contributes to the superior performance of our SSDs.
