KIOXIA's CM7 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD cryptographic module receives FIPS 140-3 Level 2 Validation
FIPS 140-3 Level 2 Validation, or the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), refers to the cryptographic module found in enterprise SSDs. These standards and security requirements laid out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are used as a metric for companies and federal agencies to obtain hardware that meets stringent and specific government requirements.
KIOXIA's CM7 Series NVMe SSD brings PCIe 5.0 speed and performance to servers and storage applications, covering everything from AI to high-performance computing and transaction processing databases. Meeting the latest FIPS 140-3 standard makes them an excellent choice for all industries and federal agencies.
Compared to the FIPS 140-2 requirements, FIPS 140-3 includes stronger authentication and higher security standards for SSDs.

3DMark introduces a new DirectStorage SSD benchmark for modern SSDs and games
Microsoft's DirectStorage technology is designed to help games load faster, reducing the time it takes to get into the action to a handful of seconds. It works by cutting out the middleman, so to speak, by allowing game file access and decompression to be handled directly by the GPU. It's a technology designed for NVMe SSD storage with at least PCIe Gen4 speeds.
It's been talked about for a few years as a game-changer; however, only a handful of titles support the technology compared to other gaming technologies like DLSS. This week, UL Solutions announced that it has updated its popular 3DMark benchmark suite with a new 3DMark DirectStorage feature test as part of its Storage Benchmark DLC.
The 3DMark DirectStorage benchmark captures the speed of decompression and gives a detailed breakdown of the difference DirectStorage makes and how well it runs on your current hardware configuration.
