KIOXIA UNVEILS INDUSTRY’S FIRST EDSFF SSDS WITH PCIE® 5.0 TECHNOLOGY




KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation has announced the industry’s first lineup of Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S SSDs designed with PCIe® 5.0 technology– the KIOXIA CD7 E3.S Series, bringing in a new era for flash memory used in servers and storage. 

Kioxia is a world leader in memory solutions, dedicated to the development, production and sale of flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs).

Building on Kioxia’s E3.S development samples that received a ‘Best in Show’ award at last year’s Flash Memory Summit, the CD7 E3.S Series increases flash storage density per drive for optimised power efficiency and rack consolidation.

The KIOXIA CD7 E3.S Series is now sampling to select OEM customers, according to a statement. 

Breaking free from the design limitations of the 2.5-inch form factor, the EDSFF E3 family is optimised for the needs of high-performance, highly efficient servers and storage.

EDSFF enables the next generation of SSDs to address future data center architectures, while supporting a variety of new devices and applications, providing improved airflow and thermals, and signal integrity benefits.

Support for higher E3.S power budgets than 2.5-inch form factor SSDs and better signal integrity allows EDSFF to deliver the performance promised by PCIe 5.0 technology and beyond.

CD7 E3.S Series Key Features include EDSFF E3.S form factor with capacities up to 7.68TB; designed to the latest PCIe 5.0 specification and optimised for x2 PCIe lane performance; and, built on Kioxia’s BiCS FLASH™ 3D TLC flash memory.

Kioxia is an active and contributing member to the industry development of EDSFF solutions, and is collaborating with leading server and storage system developers to unlock the full power of flash memory, NVMe™ and PCIe.
