KIOXIA announced its latest SSD solution through its professional PCIe 4.0 NVMeTM SSD line for cloud storage and data centers, which has achieved full PCI-SIG compatibility for PCIe 4.0. And certified by UNH-IOL.
The new KIOXIA CM6 PCIe 4.0 SSD series successfully passed the operating tests at the first PCI-SIG workshop in August 2019.It is the first workshop to include the official PCIe 4.0 specification tests. These disks are manufactured and officially released as supportive disks for PCIe 4.0.
During the Supercomputing 2019 event, scheduled to start tomorrow until November 21, KIOXIA will showcase the CM6 SSD series to showcase its strong performance compared to competing solutions. KIOXIA claims to be one of the first companies to offer such professional PCIe 4.0 SSDs to drive this market further evolving to meet the increasing demands every year.
The new CM6 series drive aims to triple the performance with PCIe 3.0 and 12 times faster than SATA-based drives. The most notable features of the disc include its dependence on the 96-layer BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory chips, as well as its ability to work with PCIe 2 × 2 or PCIe 1 × 4 interface, display transfer speed up to 6900MB / s, and support SFF-TA-1001 known The U.3 standard supports SAS, SATA, NVMe with one controller.
Earlier, KIOXIA and Microsoft shared test results for these CM6 SSDs with the Microsoft Azure HCI platform with Quanta Cloud technology, which showed twice the performance compared to PCIe 3.0-based disk solutions. When 8 discs of this CM6 SSD series were installed, a super read speed of 55GB / s was achieved !! Equivalent to 7GB / s per disk.
