As part of this collaboration, KIOXIA's high-performance enterprise and data-center NVMe SSDs are now available as part of Wasabi's Hot Cloud Storage Service. This includes KIOXIA's high-speed, low-latency CM7 Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSDs for server and storage applications, flash-based storage designed for demanding workloads like AI and processing online transactions.

KIOXIA's CM7 Series is available in capacities ranging from 1.6 TB to a massive 30.72 TB. It supports both the 2.5-inch (US) and E3.S SSD form factors and is compliant with PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0 specifications. The CM7 Series is joined by KIOXIA's CD8 Series PCIe 4.0 data center NVMe SSDs, which offer double the bandwidth, 16 GT/s (gigatransfers), compared to traditional PCIe 3.0 SSDs.

The CD8 Series is designed to meet the Open Compute Project (OCP) Datacenter NVMe SSD and NVMe 1.4 specifications, making them versatile for hyperscale and enterprise workloads.
