Notes
(1) Not all requirements of the OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD v2.5 Specification are supported. Contact your Kioxia sales representative for more information.
(2) All performance improvements are comparisons to the previous generation KIOXIA XD7P Series SSD (7.68 TB capacity model). Specifications are subject to change without notice.
(3) IOPS: Input Output Per Second (Or the number of I/O operations per second)
(4) Read and write speed may vary depending on various factors such as host devices, software (drivers, OS etc.), and read/write conditions.
*Definition of capacity: Kioxia Corporation defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 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.
*SED optional model supports TCG Opal SSC except for some features.
*SED optional model is not available in all countries due to the local regulations.
*NVMe and NVMe-MI are registered or unregistered trademarks of NVM Express, Inc. in the United States and other countries.
*PCIe is a registered trademark of PCI-SIG.
*The OCP and Open Compute Project marks are owned by and used with the permission of the Open Compute Project Foundation.
*Other company names, product names and service names may be trademarks of third-party companies.
