Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, recently announced sampling of what is said to be the industry’s first XFM DEVICE Ver.1.0-compliant removable ‘PCIe’ attached, ‘NVMe’ storage device: the XFMEXPRESS XT2 in 256GB and 512GB models. With a new form factor and connector, the XFM DEVICE Ver.1.0 standard delivers an unparalleled combination of features designed to revolutionize ultra-mobile PCs, IoT devices and various embedded applications.
First introduced in August of 2019, and then presented as a proposal to the JEDEC Subcommittee for Electrical Specifications and Command Protocols, KIOXIA XFMEXPRESS is a new form factor for PCIe/NVMe devices. Featuring a powerful combination of small size, speed and serviceability, XFMEXPRESS technology was developed to enhance next-generation mobile and embedded applications. KIOXIA XFMEXPRESS XT2 is the product to meet the specification of the JEDEC standard.
Recognizing the need for a new class of removable storage, Kioxia leveraged its extensive background in single package memory designs to develop the XFMEXPRESS XT2.
