KIOXIA Announces Industry’s First 245.76 TB NVMe SSD Built for the Demands of Generative AI Environments

TOKYO, July 22 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation 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 2.5-inch and 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.

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 exceptional capacity, speed, and efficiency.
