Overview
SSSTC (Solid State Storage Technology Corporation) is a KIOXIA group company building SSDs for industrial, enterprise and data-center duty. Its CA8 series was the first industrial M.2 SSD to use KIOXIA BiCS FLASH generation 8, combining PCIe 5.0 x4 and NVMe 2.0 with up to 14,000 MB/s sequential read and 1,600K IOPS random write in the standard M.2 2280 form factor.
Below the flagship, the SATA line-up splits into four families. The ER4 and ER3 series target endurance-critical industrial storage up to 15.36 TB in 2.5 inch, the CVC family covers the broadest form-factor spread across M.2 2280, M.2 2242 and 2.5 inch, and the CVD family serves value-tier designs. Alongside the standard TLC models, CVC is also offered in pseudo-SLC variants from 40 GB to 640 GB.
Because these drives ship into medical, gaming, industrial automation and server/cloud systems, SSSTC qualifies them across several temperature grades — S-Temp for controlled environments, E-Temp from -25 C to 85 C, and industrial wide-temperature parts — and supplies them with Opal, AES-256, secure erase and S.M.A.R.T. management.
Key Benefits
KIOXIA BiCS FLASH supply chain with the first industrial M.2 SSD on generation 8 NAND, delivering 14,000 MB/s read and 1,600K IOPS write. One vendor across the whole storage ladder — PCIe 5.0 M.2 2280 down to entry-tier SATA, plus pSLC high-endurance modules. Multiple temperature grades (S-Temp, E-Temp -25 to 85 C and industrial wide-temp) suit cabinets, kiosks and semi-outdoor deployments, while TCG Opal, AES-256 and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring meet security and fleet-management requirements.
Applications
Industrial automation and panel PCs; medical and diagnostic equipment; casino gaming and retail terminals; server, cloud and edge AI nodes; network appliances and gateways; machine vision systems needing PCIe 5.0 bandwidth; and long-life embedded designs where requalification cost favours a stable platform.
