Sandisk and Kioxia have both begun sampling BiCS10 1Tb TLC 3D NAND, the 10th generation of the BiCS flash memory the two companies jointly develop and manufacture. The announcements land in parallel because the technology is shared: Sandisk is framing it around higher density, faster interfaces, and better power efficiency for data-intensive workloads, while Kioxia
The Kioxia CD9P-R is the read-intensive arm of the company’s new data center NVMe SSD generation, and the first CD-series drive built on BiCS FLASH generation 8 TLC. The series pairs Kioxia’s own controller and firmware with PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0, with rated performance reaching 14,800 MB/s sequential read and 2.6 million random read
Micron’s 6600 ION NVMe SSD has reached 245.76TB, pushing the company’s capacity-focused PCIe Gen5 QLC line into quarter-petabyte territory. Micron began shipping the 245TB model on May 5, 2026, and is positioning it as the highest-capacity commercially available SSD. The drive sits at the top of the 6600 ION family, uses Micron’s ninth-generation G9 QLC
KIOXIA America has introduced the XG10 Series, a new client NVMe SSD family aimed at performance-class OEM notebooks, desktops, and workstations. As the successor to the XG8 Series, the XG10 moves to a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0d, giving KIOXIA a Gen5 client drive designed for heavier local workloads such as AI-assisted applications,
The DapuStor R6060 is a PCIe Gen5 enterprise QLC SSD built around the company’s DP800 controller and 3D QLC NAND. The series spans U.2, E3.L, and E1.L form factors, with capacities of 15.36TB, 30.72TB, 61.44TB, and 122.88TB, plus a 245TB SKU at the top of the stack. The interface supports PCIe 5.0 x4 or 2×2
KIOXIA has announced the GP Series, a new SSD designed for AI systems that would allow GPUs to directly access flash memory as an extension of high-bandwidth memory, or HBM. They’ve dubbed this drive a “Super High IOPS SSD” built for AI and high-performance computing workloads. According to Kioxia, the drive is designed to expand
Micron announced a suite of high-volume production AI memory and storage products at NVIDIA GTC 2026, headlined by its HBM4 36GB 12-high stack, its 192GB SOCAMM2 module, and the Micron 9650 PCIe Gen6 data center SSD. Micron HBM4 The HBM4 36GB 12H product entered volume shipment in the first quarter of calendar 2026 and is designed
Silicon Motion has introduced the SM8008, a PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe enterprise SSD controller developed specifically for data center boot drives and other power-sensitive enterprise storage applications. As AI and cloud infrastructure continue to expand, data centers are deploying servers at a much larger scale. Every one of those systems depends on a boot drive
The transition to PCIe Gen6 storage has reached a commercial milestone: the Micron 9650 NVMe SSD has entered mass production, becoming the first data center SSD built on the PCIe Gen6 interface to ship at scale. The development marks a shift in storage architecture, as higher data throughput and improved energy efficiency become increasingly important to overall
DapuStor has introduced the R6060, a PCIe Gen5 enterprise QLC SSD with capacities scaling up to 245TB. The R6060 represents the company’s second-generation QLC platform and expands its high-capacity SSD lineup for data-intensive environments, including AI infrastructure and large-scale storage backends. The R6060 is available in E3.L and U.2 form factors, with the highest capacities
