KIOXIA SSDs Achieve Compatibility with Microchip’s Adaptec® SmartRAID 4300 Series RAID Storage Accelerator

PCIe^®/NVMe™ SSDs tested for compatibility and interoperability in the 2.5-inch form factor

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kioxia Corporation today announced that its 2.5-inch KIOXIA CM7 Series Enterprise PCIe^® 5.0 NVMe™ 2.0, KIOXIA CD8P Series Data Center PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 and KIOXIA CD8 Series Data Center PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1.4 SSDs have been successfully tested for compatibility and interoperability with the Adaptec^® SmartRAID 4300 Series RAID storage accelerator card from Microchip Technology Inc.

The Adaptec SmartRAID 4300 accelerator supports up to 32 NVMe SSDs, with each drive directly connected to the CPU through its own dedicated channel. This design eliminates the PCIe bottleneck typically associated with a traditional single x16 host interface, enabling each SSD to operate at peak performance. This innovative architecture delivers exceptional throughput and IOPS, making it an ideal solution for data-intensive enterprise applications. The success of next-generation data center infrastructures relies on ecosystem collaboration and interoperability to ensure seamless integration of current and future technologies.
