Overview
- Kioxia introduced the XG10 Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs for PC makers, with claimed reads up to 14,000 MB/s and writes up to 12,000 MB/s.
- The company says XG10 roughly doubles sequential performance versus the XG8 and lifts random reads by about 122% and random writes by about 158%.
- Kioxia says units are sampling to select OEMs now, with PCs using the drives expected to ship starting in the second quarter of 2026.
- The drives target demanding client work like content creation, immersive gaming, workstations, and private AI training and inference.
- At Dell Technologies World next week, Kioxia will demo the XG10 alongside its LC9 and CM7 enterprise SSDs in Dell platforms, including an LC9-powered 9.8 PB 2U PowerEdge server setup.
