TOKYO -- Kioxia group, a world leader in memory solutions, will once again take center stage at FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage to spotlight how its flash memory and SSD innovations are driving scalable, efficient infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI). With a focus on real-world applications and performance gains, Kioxia will demonstrate how its latest solutions meet the evolving demands of AI across data center and enterprise environments.
Kioxia will spotlight its newest products, including the high-capacity KIOXIA LC9 Series - the industry’s first[1] 245.76 terabyte (TB)[2] NVMe™ SSD. Additional highlights include the KIOXIA CM9 Series and KIOXIA CD9P Series SSDs built with the company’s BiCS FLASH™ generation 8 3D flash memory, delivering performance, power efficiency, and versatility. Kioxia will also display 1 terabit (Tb)[3] 3bit/cell (TLC) products with BiCS FLASH™ generation 9 and generation 10 3D flash memory technology. BiCS FLASH™ generation 9 and generation 10 3D flash memory incorporate interface standards, Toggle DD6.0, and leverage the SCA (Separate Command Address) protocol and a novel command address input method of its interface, and PI-LTT (Power Isolated Low-Tapped Termination) technology, which provide improvements in data input and output speed and power consumption reduction.

Notes:
[1] As of August 5, 2025. Based on Kioxia Corporation survey.
[2] Definition of SSD capacity: Kioxia Corporation defines a kilobyte (KB) as 1,000 bytes, a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes, a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, and a kibibyte (KiB) is 1,024 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
[3] The flash memory capacity is calculated as 1 terabit (1 Tb) = 1,099,511,627,776 (2^40) bits, and 1 terabyte (1 TB) = 1,099,511,627,776 (2^40) bytes.
