Kioxia Introduces New PCIe 5.0 SSDs for Enterprise and Data Center Infrastructures
Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, announced the addition of the KIOXIA CD8P
Series to its lineup of data center-class solid state drives (SSDs). The KIOXIA
CD8P Series is well-suited to general purpose server and cloud environments
that can take advantage of PCIe® 5.0 (32GT/s x4) performance.
These data center applications can generate complex mixed workloads spread
across large scale virtualized systems in 24x7 operational data centers. The
new drives are available in capacities up to 30.72 terabytes (TB) [1] and in both
Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S and 2.5-inch (U.2)
form factors.
Optimized for the performance, latency, reduced power and thermal
requirements of data center environments where power and cooling efficiency is
critical, the KIOXIA CD8P Series provides the predictability and consistency
needed for a seamless user experience.
The KIOXIA CD8P Series realizes approximately 60% to 80% increase in
sequential read performance when compared to previous generation PCIe 4.0 SSDs,
including:
• Random read[2] performance up to 2,000K IOPS[3] and random
write[2] performance up to 400K IOPS
• Low and consistent 99.999th percentile latency of under
250us in standard random read workloads[4], and under 1.8ms
in standard OLTP-style mixed workloads[5]
• Single-port design, optimized for data center class workloads
The new data center drives are based on the KIOXIA BiCS FLASH™
generation 5, 3D flash memory triple-level cell (TLC) technology, and utilize
an in-house developed controller. KIOXIA CD8P Series SSDs are compliant with
PCIe 5.0 and NVMe™ 2.0 specifications as well as the NVM Express™ Management
Interface (NVMe-MI™) v1.1d, and support Open Compute Project (OCP) Datacenter
NVMe SSD specifications (not all requirements).
