KIOXIA’s new drives are available in capacities up to 30.72 terabytes (TB), making them the industry’s highest capacity1 2.5”2 SAS SSD.
“KIOXIA has one of the broadest SSD portfolios in the industry, and we are proud to lead the transition to SAS-4,” noted Alvaro Toledo, vice president of SSD marketing and product planning at KIOXIA America, Inc. “By building our PM6 Series around 24G SAS technology, we’re once again raising the bar for enterprise storage performance, reliability and data protection.”
