KIOXIA Unveils 122.88TB LC9 Series NVMe SSD to Power Next-Gen AI Workloads

KIOXIA America, Inc. has announced the upcoming debut of its LC9 Series SSD, a new high-capacity enterprise solid-state drive (SSD) with 122.88 terabytes (TB) of storage, purpose-built for advanced AI applications. Featuring the company’s latest BiCS FLASH™ generation 8 3D QLC (quad-level cell) memory and a fast PCIe® 5.0 interface, this cutting-edge drive is designed to meet the exploding data demands of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems.

As enterprises scale up AI workloads—including training large language models (LLMs), handling massive datasets, and supporting vector database queries—the need for efficient, high-density storage becomes paramount. The LC9 SSD addresses these needs with a compact 2.5-inch form factor and dual-port capability, providing both high capacity and fault tolerance in mission-critical environments.

Form factor refers to the physical size and shape of the drive—in this case, 2.5 inches, which is standard for enterprise server deployments. PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is the fast data connection standard used to link components to a system’s motherboard. NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is the protocol used by modern SSDs to communicate quickly and efficiently over PCIe interfaces.

Accelerating AI with Storage Innovation

The LC9 Series SSD is designed with AI-specific use cases in mind—particularly generative AI, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and vector database applications. Its high capacity enables data-intensive training and inference processes to operate without the bottlenecks of traditional storage.

It also complements KIOXIA’s AiSAQ™ technology, which improves RAG performance by storing vector elements on SSDs instead of relying solely on costly and limited DRAM. This shift enables greater scalability and lowers power consumption per TB at both the system and rack levels.

“AI workloads are pushing the boundaries of data storage,” said Neville Ichhaporia, Senior Vice President at KIOXIA America. “The new LC9 NVMe SSD can accelerate model training, inference, and RAG at scale.”

Industry Insight and Lifecycle Considerations

Gregory Wong, principal analyst at Forward Insights, commented:

“Advanced storage solutions such as KIOXIA’s LC9 Series SSD will be critical in supporting the growing computational needs of AI models, enabling greater efficiency and innovation.”

As organizations look to adopt next-generation SSDs like the LC9, many are also taking steps to responsibly manage legacy infrastructure. This includes efforts to sell SSD units from previous deployments—a common practice in enterprise IT to recover value, reduce e-waste, and meet sustainability goals. Secondary markets for enterprise SSDs remain active, especially with the ongoing demand for storage in distributed and hybrid cloud systems.

LC9 Series Key Features

122.88 TB capacity in a compact 2.5-inch form factor

PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0 support for high-speed data access

Dual-port support for redundancy and multi-host connectivity

Built with 2 Tb QLC BiCS FLASH™ memory and CBA (CMOS Bonded to Array) technology

Endurance rating of 0.3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) for enterprise workloads

The KIOXIA LC9 Series SSD will be showcased at an upcoming technology conference, where the company is expected to demonstrate its potential role in powering the next generation of AI-driven innovation.

oh another backup thing I’ve learned this year is that external hard drives are like tiny now ?? and way more affordable than you probably think. like you can get a kingston terabyte SSD that fits in your palm for under $100

Friendly advice for those with computers or potentially getting a computer: SSDs are worth it.

A SSD is a solid state drive. It serves the same purpose as at HDD or hard disk drive that is found on most computers. The only real difference on a surface level is that a hard drive uses a disk and an SSD doesn't not. The only part you should care about is that a SSD runs a lot faster than a HDD. This means that a computer with a SSD as the primary storage (or the C: drive in many cases) will allow the PC to startup and shut down much faster, access/manage files faster, and last much much longer than a HDD.

If you ever turned a computer and can't do anything because the "Disk" in task manager is at 100%, it's because of the HDD.

You can have both an HDD and an SSD, but Windows (the OS or operating system) will run better on the SSD. The computer will turn on faster. It will shut down faster.

How do I know this? I've seen it twice (technically three times). I put an SSD on my old laptop from around 2015 and reinstalled windows it. The startup and shutdown process mimics a new laptop (the SSD was NOT brand new). This was a laptop that died on me right before my college exams, so it's not my primary PC anymore.

The other more compelling example is I did the same thing to my parents' old 2017(? maybe older) office computer. My parents have complained for years about it running slow. The new SSD I put on it is the first solution that actually brought new life into it.

By the way, you might think a new hard drive would have a similar effect of the new SSD, but a new hard drive is slower than a new or old SSD. It was something I experienced in my current PC while trying to switch to an SSD with larger storage. Windows had always been on my SSD and as soon as I put that OS on the hard drive, it was significantly slower.

A SSD will allow your computer to run well for so much longer. I cannot figure out why the worthwhile investment in a SSD is understated, and I won't shut up about it. Sorry if this was hard to follow. When I'm done with college I'm making an informative comic/info graphic for this.

Anybody a Computer Person? (I'm a computer person but not a Computer Person, yahknow, and I'm rusty)

Basically, I'm going to be replacing my hard drives with SSDs soon. I'm trying to figure out if it's better to transfer/copy the data to the new drive first, and then swap them out, or if I should swap them first, and then do the transfer/copying. Or does it not even matter? (I've added a second HDD before, but I've never actually had to swap out a primary

5 REASONS WHY AN SSD MAY BE THE BEST UPGRADE FOR YOUR PC

For many PC users, the upgrade question often revolves around the latest graphics card or most powerful processor. While these components can certainly improve specific tasks, upgrading your storage drive to a Solid State Drive (SSD) could be the most impactful change you can make to your entire system. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that rely on spinning platters and read/write heads, SSDs use flash memory to store data electronically. This fundamental difference results in a significant increase in performance, reliability and overall user experience. Let's explore the top five reasons why an SSD upgrade could be the best decision you make for your PC. The increased speed, increased reliability, quiet operation, and potential gain in battery life (for laptops) are compelling arguments to consider an SSD the best investment you'll ever make for your PC. Plus, with SSDs becoming the storage standard of the future, upgrading now can prepare your system for years to come.

Solid state drive (SSD) is defined as the storage device which consists of non-volatile methods of storing media and information with the help of circuit assemblies integrated in the device infrastructure itself. These devices consist of two major components for its functioning, namely flash controller as well as NAND flash memory chips which are optimized and integrated to provide high levels of functionality in performance. The device infrastructure is defined as fixed components that unlike HDD do not require any consistent movements to ensure that the information is being written on or stored on the storage device.

Rapid increase in the demand for SSD from data centers is a crucial factor accelerating the market growth, also rising various benefits and performing advantages, rising continuous advancements in SSD technologies to enhance performance and capabilities, rising demand for data centers which can store large amounts of data and require highly data-intensive operations, which in turn increases the demand for the product, rising growth in 3D NAND technology and its low power consumption qualities and rising diffusion of high end cloud computing, advantages of SSDs above HDDs, and increasing acceptance of SSDs in data centers are the major factors among others boosting the solid state drive (SSD) controller market. Moreover, increasing modernization and technological advancements in the devices, rising research and development activities in the market and rising emerging markets will further create new opportunities for solid state drive (SSD) controller market in the forecast period mentioned above.
