Boost the data transmission rate of your Enterprise- and Data Center-applications !
Why to choose PCIe 4.0-based NVMeTM SSDs?
Performance is the overwhelming benefit of PCIe 4.0 relating to NVMeTM SSDs. The PCIe 4.0 standard is designed to increase data transfer speeds from 8 GT/s (PCIe 3.0) to 16 GT/s (2 GB/s per lane), and with faster speed for data to move, enables SSDs/GPUs/NICs and other devices to deliver faster I/O performance than previous PCIe revisions.
► What You Need To Know About PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSDs
What is the adoption rate of NVMeTM SSDs in data centers?
Enterprise and data center NVMeTM SSDs are projected to represent majority use across data centers worldwide when compared to SATA and SAS SSDs. The combined segment (in units) is expected to grow from 42.5% in 2019, to 75% by the end of 2021, and 91% by the end of 20231. Customers increasingly recognize the great potential of PCIe 4.0 based NVMeTM SSDs for their enterprise performance requirements and cloud-based data center architectures.

► Top Five Reasons why deploy PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSDs in your Data Center
PCIe® 4.0 Performance with KIOXIA’s NVMeTM SSDs
With its enterprise-class CM6 Series and data center CD6 Series, KIOXIA offers NVMeTM SSDs that deliver the capabilities to benefit from PCIe 4.0. Both series use KIOXIA’s 96-layer BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory technology, and are compliant with the NVMeTM 1.4 specification.
Enterprise-class NVMeTM SSDs: CM6 Series (CM6-V / CM6-R)
Enterprise-class NVMeTM SSDs are designed to run 24 hours/7 days per week in data center servers and storage to deliver the highest performance any class of SSD can currently achieve. The CM6 Series is targeted to high-performance server applications such as:
- Databases: require low-latency, dual-ports (for multi-path and high-availability), and very high transactions per second.
- Data Analytics: require high sequential and random read bandwidth for analytic searches.
- Compute-side AI and ML: require fast data transfers into DRAM and GPUs during staging while validating data immediately for corruption during checkpoints.

Data center-class NVMeTM SSDs: CD6 Series (CD6-V / CD6-R)
Data center NVMeTM SSDs are designed for scale out and hyperscale environments, where read performance, Quality of Service (QoS) and power efficiency are key metrics. The CD6 Series is targeted for general purpose server applications and scale out environments such as:
- Cloud Computing: require high data transfer and IOPS performance, and low-latency.
- Container Orchestration: require high transfer rates and IOPS performance in combination with high queue depths in random read and write environments.
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): require read-intensive performance typically at 95% read and 5% write.
- Databases: require low-latency and high transactions per minute.
- Media Streaming: require high read bandwidth that can move content into several systems as fast as possible for streaming to many subscribers simultaneously.
