Kioxia SSDs Compatible With Microchip's Adaptec SmartRAID 4300 Accelerator

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation announced that three of its solid-state drives (SSDs) have been successfully tested for compatibility and interoperability with the Adaptec SmartRAID 4300 Series RAID storage accelerator card from Microchip Technology Inc.

The SSDs are 2.5-inch KIOXIA CM7 Series Enterprise PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0, KIOXIA CD8P Series Data Center PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 and KIOXIA CD8 Series Data Center PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1.4.

According to Kioxia in a statement, the Adaptec SmartRAID 4300 accelerator supports up to 32 NVMe SSDs, with each drive directly connected to the central processing unit (CPU) via its own dedicated channel.

This architecture eliminates the PCIe bottleneck typically associated with a traditional single x16 host interface, allowing each SSD to operate at peak performance.

The design delivers high throughput and input/output operations per second (IOPS), making it well suited for data-intensive enterprise and data centre applications.

Kioxia said the successful testing underscores the importance of ecosystem collaboration and interoperability in enabling seamless integration of current and next-generation data centre technologies.

A global leader in memory solutions, Kioxia is engaged in the development, production and sale of flash memory and SSDs, providing products and systems that deliver value to customers and society.
