DWPD) and mixed-use (3 DWPD) will be available. Compared to the previous CM9 series, sequential read performance has increased by up to 92%, and random read performance by up to 85%; however, exact speeds and IOPS have not yet been published. The E3.S and E1.S models with a thickness of 9.5 mm support direct liquid cooling for high-density AI systems. The drives support PCIe 6.0, NVMe 2.1, OCP NVMe SSD Spec 2.7 components, NVMe Flexible Data Placement, as well as security features: self-encryption, FIPS 140-3, SPDM 1.4, and post-quantum cryptography CNSA 2.0. The CM10 series is compatible with the Nvidia CMX architecture for expanding the GPU memory hierarchy. The exception is the 2.5-inch model, which uses PCIe 5.0 and 8th-generation memory. Kioxia is currently testing the drives with select customers.
