Kioxia Announces KIOXIA GP1 Series Super High IOPS SSDs for AI Applications
The new SSDs use Kioxia XL-FLASH generation 2 and deliver up to 10 million random read IOPS for AI storage systems.
- On Tuesday, August 4, Kioxia Corporation announced the KIOXIA GP1 Series PCIe 6.0 NVMe SSDs, the first product in its Super High IOPS SSDs line optimized for GPU direct access.
- The KIOXIA GP1 Series supports emerging AI storage architectures by extending High Bandwidth Memory as a fast flash memory tier, allowing AI systems to access larger datasets at lower costs than adding more HBM.
- Leveraging KIOXIA XL-FLASH generation 2, the units deliver up to 10 million random read IOPS with finer-grained 512-byte data access and support up to 50 DWPD endurance.
- Kioxia showcased the new hardware at the Future of Memory and Storage conference in Santa Clara, which concluded on Thursday, with evaluation samples available to select customers by the end of 2026.
- The architecture is designed to scale from current 10 million random read IOPS to future generations targeting up to 100 million IOPS, reflecting Kioxia's commitment to memory-based value through BiCS FLASH technology.

Kioxia's new PCIe 6.0 SSDs want to feed GPUs data at a fraction of HBM's price
Japanese memory manufacturer Kioxia is bringing a new class of super-fast SSDs to the enterprise market. The Kioxia GP1 Series is based on the PCIe 6.0 interface and can leverage the NVMe 2.2 protocol to serve as a middle ground between "pure" NVMe storage solutions and high-bandwidth memory VRAM soldered...Read Entire Article
Kioxia has unveiled a PCIe 6.0 SSD that boasts up to ten million random read accesses per second. The GP1 series utilizes second-generation XL-FLASH and is aimed at AI systems whose GPU memory is insufficient for models, contextual data, or intermediate results. The SSD is not intended to function like a conventional drive for operating systems and files. Kioxia positions it as an additional storage layer between High Bandwidth Memory and tradit…
