Kioxia new optical PCIe 5.0 SSDs can do 40-meter cable lengths with no performance loss

The optical link supports much longer cable lengths and preserves the full multi-gigabyte-per-second speeds of PCIe 5.0. Kioxia has confirmed successful PCIe 5.0 32GT/s x4 lane operation over the optical interface, doubling the bandwidth of its previous prototype and marking a significant milestone for the project.Read Entire Article

Kioxia has developed PCIe 5.0 solid-state drive technology based on optical fiber, which can run without slowing down within 40 meters. Separating storage and computing units optimizes heat dissipation and has a more compact design. Optical fiber connection has low heat generation and low interference, but it needs to improve data center compatibility.
