Kioxia Unveils Revolutionary 2Tb QLC Flash Memory Technology
Kioxia, a leading Japanese memory company, has made a significant breakthrough in the storage industry by announcing the sampling of its new 2Tb QLC flash memory devices. This cutting-edge technology is built on Kioxia's eighth-generation BiCS FLASH 3D memory, which is set to enhance the capacity and efficiency of SSDs, servers, and other digital storage hardware.
What Makes Kioxia's New Chip Stand Out?
The new 2Tb QLC chip boasts a bit density that is approximately 2.3 times higher than the company's previous fifth-generation QLC devices. It incorporates advanced integration of CBA technology and boasts interface speeds of up to 3.6Gbps. With its 16-die stacked architecture, a single memory package can achieve an impressive 4TB capacity, while offering 70% greater write power efficiency compared to earlier models.
Pure Storage Collaborates with Kioxia
Pure Storage, known for its innovative all-flash arrays, has expressed its intention to adopt Kioxia's new technology. Hideshi Miyajima, CTO of Kioxia, highlighted the benefits of the 2Tb QLC product, citing its high bit density, high-speed data transfer, and superior power efficiency, which make it ideal for AI and large storage applications. Charles Giancarlo, CEO of Pure Storage, also praised the new technology, noting its potential to enhance the performance and efficiency of their all-flash storage solutions.
Kioxia Expands Its Portfolio with a New 1Tb QLC Memory Device
Alongside the 2Tb QLC, Kioxia has introduced a new 1Tb QLC memory device that provides a 30% faster sequential write performance and a 15% improvement in read latency. This device is designed for high-performance applications, including client SSDs and mobile devices, further demonstrating Kioxia's commitment to innovation in the storage industry.
As the demand for higher-capacity, efficient, and fast-storage solutions continues to grow, Kioxia's latest offerings are poised to set new standards in the market. Keep an eye on this space for more updates on groundbreaking storage technologies.
