Kioxia sampling CD9P Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs

BiCS flash uses CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology which boosts power efficiency, performance, and storage density while doubling the capacity available per SSD compared with the previous generation model.

The CD9P Series drives deliver 4-corner performance improvements of up to approximately 125% in random write, 30% in random read, 20% sequential read, and 25% in sequential write speeds compared to the previous generation.

Performance per watt of power consumption has improved by approximately 60% in sequential read, 45% in sequential write, 55% in random read, and 100% (2x) in random write. (Applies to the 15.36 terabyte (TB) model)
