KIOXIA Announces Industry's First 245.76 TB NVMe SSD Built for the Demands of Generative AI Environments
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- KIOXIA America, Inc. has expanded its high-capacity KIOXIA LC9 Series enterprise SSD lineup by introducing the industry's first 1 245.76 terabyte (TB) 2 NVMe™ SSD in a 2.5-inch and Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E3.L form factor. This new capacity and form factor option complements the previously announced 122.88 TB (2.5-inch) model and is purpose-built for the performance and efficiency demands of generative AI environments. 'As generative AI reshapes data center architecture, we're delivering the kind of breakthrough technology that enables our customers to optimize their IT infrastructure investments - pushing boundaries in performance, efficiency, and scale.' Generative AI places unique demands on storage, including the need to store vast datasets for training large language models (LLMs), and to create embeddings and vector databases that support inference through retrieval augmented generation (RAG). These workloads require storage solutions with large capacity, high speed, and exceptional power efficiency. Featuring a 32-die stack of 2 terabit (Tb) 3 BiCS FLASH™ QLC 3D flash memory with innovative CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology, KIOXIA LC9 Series SSDs deliver the speed, scale, and density required to support the next wave of AI-centric workloads. This combination of advanced memory architecture and CBA technology enables 8 TB 3 in a small 154 BGA package – also an industry first 1. This milestone was made possible with advancements in Kioxia's high-precision wafer processing, material design, and wire bonding technologies. KIOXIA LC9 Series SSDs are well-suited for data lakes, where massive data ingestion and rapid processing are essential. Unlike HDDs, which often bottleneck performance and leave costly GPUs underutilized, KIOXIA LC9 Series SSDs enable dense storage in a compact footprint. By delivering up to 245.76 TB, each drive can replace multiple power-hungry HDDs, offering superior performance, lower overall power consumption, fewer drive slots used, and more efficient cooling, which would significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO). KIOXIA LC9 Series SSDs Features Include: Up to 245.76 TB in 2.5-inch and E3.L form factors Up to 122.88 TB available in 2.5-inch and E3.S form factors Designed to PCIe ® 5.0 (max. 128 GT/s Gen5 single x4, dual x2), NVMe 2.0, and NVMe-MI™ 1.2c specifications Open Compute Project (OCP) Datacenter NVMe SSD specification v2.5 support (not all requirements) Flexible Data Placement (FDP) support to minimize write amplification and extend SSD lifespan 4 Security options: SIE, SED, FIPS SED CNSA 2.0 signing algorithm adopted 5, designed with future quantum security standards in mind 'KIOXIA has a long history of advancing flash storage, and the KIOXIA LC9 Series continues that legacy by setting a new benchmark for capacity and innovation in the SSD space,' said Neville Ichhaporia, senior vice president and general manager of the SSD business unit at KIOXIA America, Inc. 'As generative AI reshapes data center architecture, we're delivering the kind of breakthrough technology that enables our customers to optimize their IT infrastructure investments - pushing boundaries in performance, efficiency, and scale.' KIOXIA LC9 Series SSDs are now sampling to select customers and will be featured at the Future of Memory and Storage 2025 conference, taking place August 5–7 in Santa Clara.

Notes: 1: As of July 21, 2025, based on Kioxia 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. 4: For RocksDB purposes, Kioxia confirmed the Write Amplification Factor (WAF) is approximately 1.1 when using the FDP function with the plug-in (a function extension program released on the Kioxia GitHub account. 5: The KIOXIA LC9 Series SSD supports Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) algorithm acknowledged by CNSA 2.0 (Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0) as a digital signature algorithm to prevent firmware tampering in preparation for threats to conventional cryptographic algorithms posed by quantum computers. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) with a key length of 256 bits, which is the data encryption algorithm used in KIOXIA LC9 Series SSD, is also acknowledged by CNSA 2.0. 2.5-inch indicates the form factor of the SSD and not its physical size.

Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the debt, budget office says
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' which he signed into law this month, will add $3.4 trillion to the U.S. national debt over the next decade, according to a report the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office published Monday. The report found that the law, which Republicans passed along party lines, will also 'increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance' by 2034. The budget office scrutinized the final version of the bill after Republicans made a series of last-minute changes to cobble together the votes needed in the Senate; it passed 51-50. That revised version subsequently passed the House on a vote of 218-214. Trump enacted it on July 4. The package extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts while providing tax deductions for tips and overtime pay for the next four years. It includes hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending for the military and to carry out Trump's mass deportation agenda. And it pays for some of that with cuts to Medicaid, SNAP benefits (which help low-income families purchase groceries) and clean energy funding. The analysis found that the law's net spending cuts of $1.1 trillion are outstripped by the $4.5 trillion in decreased revenue, compared with if the measure had not passed. Republican leaders said passing the 'big, beautiful bill' was essential to averting a tax hike at the end of this year, when much of Trump's 2017 tax law was slated to expire. Recent surveys show the bill is unpopular with Americans. Democrats are leaning heavily into attacks on the bill as a tax cut that disproportionately benefits the wealthy, paid for in part with spending cuts that harm the working class. Some Republicans and White House allies, meanwhile, are casting the bill as a tax benefit for 'working families,' highlighting the move away from taxes on tips and overtime in particular. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., predicted that voters will 'reward' Republicans for the bill in the midterm elections. 'This is a bill that was written for hardworking Americans, middle- and lower-class earners in particular, and they will feel the effects of that in the economy, and they'll have higher wages and more opportunity and more economic growth, and that's a major factor in a midterm election. And the border will be secure. We'll have American energy dominance going again,' Johnson told NBC News earlier this month after it passed. Asked if he has any concerns that it will cost the GOP seats in the 2026 midterm elections, Johnson responded, 'No concerns at all. In fact, it's going to gain seats for us. We're that confident.' The CBO also found that the law, which includes changes to the Affordable Care Act, will reduce average premiums for the standard 'benchmark' ACA plan by about 0.6% in 2034.
