Kioxia sampling SSDs using CBA

CBA is claimed to deliver advances in power efficiency, performance and density, and sustainability, while doubling available capacity per flash device.

The CM9 Series SSDs deliver performance improvements of up to approximately 65% in random write, 55% in random read, and 95% in sequential write compared to the previous generation.

In addition, performance-per-watt gains include approximately 55% better sequential read and 75% better sequential write efficiency.

CM9 Series features include:

• PCI 5.0, NVMe 2.0, NVMe-MI 1.2c, and OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD 2.5 specification-compliant
• Dual-port support in 2.5-inch and E3.S form factors
• Read-intensive (1 DWPD) and mixed-use (3 DWPD) endurances
• Sequential performance (128 kibibytes (KiB)/QD32) – 14.8 GB/s read and 11 GB/s write
• Random performance (4KiB) – 3,400 KIOPS (QD512) and 800 KIOPS (QD32)
• 2.5-inch capacities up to 61.44 terabytes (TB) and E3.S capacities up to 30.72 TB
