SSSTC: CL6 Series PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.4c Industrial-Grade Up to 2TB M.2 SSD Featuring Kioxia 4th Gen BiCS FLASH

As digital transformation becomes imperative, with the continual evolution of AI and rapid advancements in cloud computing, enterprises’ demand for data computation and storage is escalating.

To meet this demand, SSSTC, a subsidiary of Kioxia Corp., has launched the CL6 series of industrial-grade SSDs, the first to be equipped with Kioxia‘s 6th gen BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory.

The CL6 series SSD utilizes the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and adheres to the NVMe 1.4c standard. It supports matured Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, surpassing the performance limits of DRAM-less SSDs, offering a more efficient and reliable storage experience. With SLC caching, the sequential read speed can reach up to 6,000MB/s, and sequential write speed is up to 5,300MB/s. The CL6 series is available in mainstream M.2 2280 format, as well as M.2 2242 and M.2 2230, with a maximum capacity of up to 2TB to meet the storage needs of different applications.

The CL6 industrial-grade SSD has undergone burn-in and aging tests, ensuring operation in extreme industrial control environments. It is for applications such as slim PCs, embedded POS systems, network switches, signal base stations, terminal sensors, and other industrial computers, where performance and extended operation are critical.

The CL6 series offers energy saving and low power consumption even at speed, which brings smaller, lighter, faster, and more energy-efficient storage solution for mobile computing and embedded IoT devices. In addition, the drive supports TCG OPAL and XTS-AES 256-bit encryption for more reliable data protection. With the increasing amount of sensitive data involved in AI applications, enterprises are demanding security. The encryption function of the CL6 series will effectively protect the confidentiality of data.

The company has always been committed to the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of storage products, providing customers with reliable and high-quality SSDs. The launch of the CL6 series SSDs, equipped with 6th-Gen BiCS FLASH technology, unleashes the bandwidth of the 64GT/s (PCIe 4.0 (Gen4 x4)) interface, further demonstrating SSSTC’s technical advantages and innovative capabilities in the storage field. The launch of the product is expected to lead to another wave of discussion in the industry and bring more energy-efficient storage solutions to the market.

The CL6 series of industrial-grade SSDs are available.
