SSSTC Launches CA8 Series Industrial M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 Up to 4TB SSD with Gen 8 BiCS FLASH Technology
Up to 14,000MB/s and up to 12,000MB/s RW speeds, and random performance of up to 2,000K IOs (read) and 1,600K IOs (write)
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on August 20, 2025 at 2:01 pmSolid State Storage Technology Corporation (SSSTC) launches of the CA8 Series, an industrial M.2 SSD built with Kioxia BiCS FLASH Gen 8 3D flash memory technology and a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface.
Offered in the industry-standard M.2 2280 form factor, the SSSTC CA8 Series is available in 512GB, 1, 2, and 4 TB capacities.
The SSSTC CA8 Series complies with PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 2.0, supporting high-speed data access with transfer rates up to 32GT/s per-lane – doubling the throughput of PCIe 4.0 interface. With SLC caching, the SSSTC CA8 Series achieves sequential read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s and write speeds up to 12,000MB/s, along with random performance of up to 2,000K IOs (read) and 1,600K IOs (write) – making it one of the fastest industrial SSDs on the market.
At its core is Kioxia’s 8th Gen BiCS FLASH 218-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory with CMOS directly Bonded to Array (CBA) wafer bonding technology , enabling a 20% improvement in write performance, over 10% reduction in read latency, and up to 30% better power consumption. These enhancements make the SSSTC CA8 Series a critical enabler for data-intensive edge computing and high-performance industrial workloads.
Designed for long-term reliability and broad system compatibility, the SSSTC CA8 Series features:
- MTBF exceeding 3 million hours
- Wide operating temperature range (0°C to 85°C)
- Supply longevity of 5 to 10 years
Its robust durability and consistent performance make it ideal for demanding applications such as AIoT, factory automation, networking, in-vehicle systems, and edge servers – especially those involving Edge AI workloads.
To ensure data integrity and system resilience, the CA8 Series includes:
- High-performance ECC
- Power Loss Notification (PLN) to prevent data corruption during unexpected shutdowns
- AES-256 encryption and TCG Opal support for advanced data protection
As a subsidiary of Kioxia Corp., SSSTC is committed to delivering highly stable, high-performance SSD solutions to global enterprise and industrial customers. The CA8 Series SSD is scheduled to enter mass production in Q4 2025.
