Transforming Storage: Kioxia’s 5TB High-Bandwidth Flash Memory Prototype
Kioxia is pushing the boundaries of flash memory with its groundbreaking prototype: a 5TB high-bandwidth flash memory module offering an impressive 64 GB/s bandwidth. This innovation adapts NAND flash for GPUs, representing a significant leap in capacity and efficiency.
Key Highlights:
- Capacity & Speed: 8-16x the capacity of traditional DRAM-based HBM, enabling access to large AI datasets efficiently.
- Power Efficiency: Consumes under 40W per module, outperforming existing Gen5 SSDs.
- Scalable Architecture: Each module features an independent controller, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing performance.
- Linear Scaling: Adds capacity without compromising bandwidth, allowing setups that can exceed 80 TB of flash and 1 TB/s throughput.
Kioxia’s innovation not only redefines storage capabilities but also sets the stage for future data center architectures.
