Kioxia doubles super-fast flash drive speed

Kioxia has a 2x speed increase for its Optane-class GP series SSDs, at new and longer QLC drive for large datacenters and is showing these and its liquid-cooled NX1 SSD at the OCP Gobal Summit.

There is an enhanced version of the GP Series SSD using gen 3 XL-FLASH with >20 million IOPS 512-byte random read performance. The GP1 announced in August offered around 10 million IOPS. XL-FLASH, provides higher IOPS, finer-grained 512-byte data access, and lower power consumption per I/O compared to conventional SSDs. This gen 1 XL-FLASH uses, we understand, MLC (2 bits/cell) with a faster SLC (1 bit/cell) mode, a 16-plane architecture, and read latency under 5 microseconds. 

Kioxia America’s Neville Ichhaporia, SVP and GM of the SD business unit, said: “Kioxia is making game-changing high-performance flash storage solutions for AI infrastructure. As AI drives new performance demands, scalable, efficient storage becomes the foundation for innovation. We’re helping data centers build that foundation by pioneering storage solutions designed specifically for AI-driven infrastructure."
