Kioxia presents its SSD drives for servers and data centers up to 13.6 Gbps

SSD drives with interface PCI-Express 5.0 have come to stay, for the moment we have found speeds in units for home equipment of up to 10 Gbps, some even claim offer up to 12 Gbps. But Kioxia has submitted its new units intended for servers and data centers where the maximum speed has increased to 13.6 Gbps thanks to the new data controller SiliconMotion SM8366.

This new controller SM8366 is capable of up to 14 Gbps read and write sequential and has a 16-channel NAND interface with a bandwidth of 2,400 MT/s. In the OCP event, these units have been seen in operation, where they have reached up to 13,600MB/s reading with 3,406k/s IOPS.

The bad news is that these units have arrived, in the first place, for data centers and servers with form factors not used in home equipment such as the U2, E1.S or E3.S. These new drives take advantage of almost the full potential of the new PCI Express 4.0 interface where your maximum theoretical speed is 15.75 Gbps. But for the moment we have only seen demonstrations of this type of product, no release date yet for these new Kioxia drives with the new PCIe 5.0 interface.
