Kioxia beats its own world record with the fastest SSD ever produced — new PCIe 6.0 GP1 tops 20M IOPS and is part of Kioxia's plan to challenge DRAM in AI markets
Kioxia wants to take on DRAM with flash storage, and its newest SSD brings random-read speeds above 20 million IOPS.
Kioxia has unveiled its latest SSD, the GP1, which holds the record for the fastest SSD ever produced, surpassing 20 million IOPS. The company's third-generation XL-FLASH memory technology is responsible for the significant speed increase, offering three times the read speed and 150% higher write speed compared to previous models.
Kioxia's GP1, which is compatible with PCIe 6.0 NVMe 2.2 interfaces, is designed to compete with DRAM in AI markets, providing storage solutions with memory-class speed and efficiency. The company's goal is to deliver flash storage that can rival the performance of DRAM, a critical step as AI demands more powerful and scalable storage systems.
