What is KIOXIA's CD8 Series SSD?
The KIOXIA CD8 Series SSD is a PCIe 4.0 (Gen4 x4) / NVMe™ SSD that utilizes BiCS FLASH™ generation 5 technology. It comes in a 2.5-inch form factor with a thickness of 15 mm and offers capacities ranging from 800 GB to 15.36 TB. This series is designed for cloud-based applications and traditional server deployments, focusing on performance, low latency, and data protection, including power loss protection (PLP) to safeguard data during unexpected power outages.
What security features are available in KIOXIA SSDs?
KIOXIA's data center SSDs, including the CD8 and CD8P Series, offer various security options such as Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) models. The SED models support TCG Opal and Ruby Security Sub-Classes, while the XD8 Series also includes SED options. These features help ensure data security and compliance with industry standards.
How does Power Loss Protection work?
Power Loss Protection (PLP) in KIOXIA SSDs is designed to protect data during unexpected power loss. In the event of a shutdown, PLP utilizes backup power from solid capacitors to ensure that data stored in buffer memory is written to flash memory. This feature helps maintain data integrity and prevents data loss, making it a critical component for data center applications.
