To further meet the specific requirements of enterprise and data center applications, Kioxia Corporation announced the launch of Kioxia XD7P series NVMe SSDS for data centers, cementing the company's achievements in this field. Kaixia XD7P series drives are designed for very large scale and general server applications, using the new Enterprise and Data Center Standard Dimensions (EDSFF) E1.S design. It is the second generation of Kaixia E1.S SSD supporting Open Computing Project (OCP) data center NVMe SSDS after the KIOXIA XD6 series.
The Kioxia XD7P series data center NVMe SSD has improved the overall performance. Compared with the previous generation, the sequential write performance and random read/write performance have been improved by nearly 1.5 to 2 times. The Armour XD7P series drives are designed according to the PCIe 4.0 and NVMe 2.0 specifications. The PCIe 5.0 with a maximum interface speed of 32 GT/s per channel is still in development. Therefore, the Armour XD7P series will initially be released as PCIe 4.0 SSDs. PCIe 5.0 SSDs will be released according to customer requirements.
Based on the fifth generation of BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology, the Armour XD7P series uses the proprietary controller of Armour, which can be customized according to customer needs. In terms of overall dimensions, E1. S will provide 9.5 mm, 15 mm and 25 mm heights, with radiators available. It has a maximum capacity of 7.68Tb and a durability of 1 DWPD. The TCG Opal SSC SED security option is also available.
