KIOXIA LC9 SERIES SSD BAGS FMS ‘BEST OF SHOW’ AWARD

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation announced that the KIOXIA LC9 Series 245.76 terabyte (TB) enterprise solid-state drive (SSD) has received the FMS ‘Best of Show’ award in the ‘SSD Technology’ category.

Kioxia in a statement said these awards recognise the cutting-edge products, services, and customer implementations that are pushing the boundaries of memory and storage technology.

Utilising a 32-die stack KIOXIA BiCS FLASH generation 8 QLC 3D flash memory, KIOXIA LC9 Series drives are well-suited to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and enterprise applications.

The Awards Program Chair and Network Storage Advisors Inc President, Jay Kramer said when customers evaluate SSDs, important consideration is given to storage that scales to high capacities while delivering high performance and low power consumption.

“We are proud to recognise KIOXIA for its BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and KIOXIA LC9 Series SSD. This solution is enabled by their CMOS directly Bonded to Array (CBA) technology and the innovation of a 32-die stacked architecture in a package – delivering the capacity, power and density required for transformational SSDs,” added Kramer.

Featuring a 32-die stack of two terabit (Tb) BiCS FLASH QLC 3D flash memory with innovative CBA technology, KIOXIA LC9 Series SSDs deliver the speed, scale, and density required to support the next wave of AI-centric workloads.

This combination of advanced memory architecture and CBA technology enables eight TB in a small 154 BGA package, and this milestone was made possible with advancements in Kioxia’s high-precision wafer processing, material design, and wire bonding technologies.
