What just happened? Kioxia has completed the development of its next-gen optical PCIe 5.0 SSDs, which can operate up to 40 meters from the host system without losing throughput. The breakthrough comes from replacing traditional copper connections with optical communication, allowing the SSD to link directly to a server or CPU over long distances. The optical link supports much longer cable lengths and preserves the full multi-gigabyte-per-second speeds of PCIe 5.0. Kioxia has confirmed successf

The PCI Special Interest Group is working on PCIe 6.0 and 7.0 standards to ease the pain with data throughput, though a few issues still need to be ironed out before general deployment. Last year, Micron teased its first PCIe 6 SSD, promising impressive bandwidth rates. More recently, the US memory manufacturer has partnered with switch maker Astera Labs to show the new dri
