Today, the company announced the industry’s first lineup of Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S SSDs designed with PCIe ® 5.0 technology 1 – the CD7 Series.

At the forefront will be the speed, scalability, and energy efficiency delivered by the company’s next-generation Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E1.S and PCIe ® 5.0 SSDs.

PCIe 6.0 interposers from Teledyne LeCroy allow engineers to monitor devices conforming to the Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF). Three types of interposers are available, each ...

Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced the availability of its new KIOXIA XD8 Series PCIe ® 5.0 Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E1.S SSDs.

KIOXIA has just unveiled the industry's first EDSFF E3.S SSD that was designed with next-gen PCIe 5.0 technology in mind, so we're looking at the new drives being optimized for 32GT/s x2 ...

Kioxia is making a big push for the EDSFF form factor in the data center with a couple of new SSD products, including the first to pair EDSFF with PCIe 5.0.

KIOXIA is tapping the next-gen PCIe 5.0 standard, providing the new KIOXIA CM7 Series SSDs in the Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.S and 2.5-inch form factors.

As far as thermal management goes, Kioxia is offering its EDSFF E1.S form factor models with three heatsink options, as pictured up top, including 9.5mm, 15mm, and 25mm.

Like Samsung's efforts, Kioxia's first PCIe 5.0 solutions are angled at enterprise, data centres and so on. This is why the samples were based on the EDSFF E3 and 2.5-inch U.2 form factors.

PCIe 6.0 already? — Samsung is offering their PM1743 SSDs in capacities ranging from 1.92TB to 15.36TB and in the traditional 2.5-inch form factors or the 3-inch EDSFF configuration.

In this case, we’re looking at 1.7x and 1.9x faster speeds than PCIe 4.0 drives, respectively. Power consumption goes up to 608 MB/s per watt for the PCIe 5.0 SSD.

Performance of a typical M.2 (22110) SSD is 8.25 W (as of this publication), and this is apparent with higher capacities such as 4 TB and beyond. These SSDs can’t achieve full PCIe 4.0 (16 ...
