Kioxia showcases the world’s fastest SSD with mind-blowing 10M IOPS and a staggering 50 DWPD endurance
- Kioxia's GP1 reaches 10 million IOPS using PCIe 6.0 and XL-FLASH technology
- Its 50 DWPD rating indicates substantial endurance for sustained enterprise workloads
- A hypothetical 3TB model could theoretically withstand 109.5 PB written
KIOXIA Europe GmbH has unveiled the GP1 Series, a PCIe 6.0 NVMe SSD engineered for direct GPU access within demanding AI infrastructure — the first product in the KIOXIA GP Series introduced in early 2026.
The drive reaches up to 10 million random read IOPS at a 512-byte block size, using KIOXIA's XL-FLASH generation 2 flash memory, a type of SLC NAND paired with a new in-house controller.
Built to PCIe 6.0 and NVMe 2.2 specifications, the SSD carries an endurance rating of up to 50 drive writes per day (DWPD).
Why IOPS performance matters
The GP1 Series is intended to support emerging AI storage architectures that extend high-bandwidth memory using a flash-based tier for...
