Kioxia has announced the development of a new series of Business level solid state units To feed the insatiable AI. This is high -performance LC9 SSDs and with storage capacity of up to 122.8 Tbytes.
As artificial intelligence systems become more sophisticated and data volumes continue to grow, companies require storage solutions that may follow the pace of the complex demands of modern workloads. In addition to computational hardware (processors and graphics), high capacity units are crucial for certain phases of AI processes, including large -sized language models (LLM); the training and storage of large data sets; vector databases and information recovery for inference and fine adjustment.
Special designed for generative AI applications, the new business class Kioxia unit is designed to offer high performance and great capacity. SSD LC9 use a format of 2.5 inches And they connect to the fastest interface of those available, PCIe 5.0.
It will be the first series of kioxia that will be built with memory technology 3D BiCS FLASH of eighth generation, quadruple QLC layer of 2 terabits. They have double port tolerance capacity or connectivity with multiple computer systems. These high capacity SSD units are promoted as ideals for their implementation in hybrid and multinube cloud systems.
The units complement the recently announced Kioxia Aisaq technology, which improves the scalable performance of RAG (augmented generation recovery) by storing vector database elements in SSD instead of the most limited and expensive dram memory. In addition, it improves the efficiency of the system and rack with a higher storage density and lower energy consumption by TB compared to lower capacity units.
The SSD LC9 are compatible with NVME 2.0, NVME-MI and PCIE 5.0 specifications, for a yield of up to 128 gigatransferences per second. Kioxia will distribute the unit with storage capacity of up to 122,8 Tbytes. Even in development, the firm will provide more details and launch date at an upcoming conference.
