KIOXIA LC9 Series — 245.76 TB QLC NVMe SSD

Specifications

Overview

The KIOXIA LC9 Series is a 245.76 TB high-capacity QLC NVMe SSD unveiled at FMS 2026 as part of KIOXIA's 'high-capacity QLC storage for fast retrieval of large datasets' showcase. It targets the growing tier of AI infrastructure that must hold massive model training corpora, vector embeddings and inference caches at scale.

Positioned alongside KIOXIA's PCIe 6.0 CM10 and NX1 enterprise SSDs, the LC9 represents the capacity-oriented end of KIOXIA's AI-era storage lineup — maximizing density per drive to reduce rack footprint and total cost of ownership for data lakes and retrieval-heavy AI workloads.

For QS Compute customers building AI factories, the LC9 provides a high-density building block for fast, cost-effective access to the large datasets that frontier AI models increasingly depend on.
