KIOXIA CM7 Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD </div> <p>The FIPS 140-3 standard specifies a set of security requirements of the Cryptographic Module Validation Program administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), used as a security metric for federal agencies to procure validated IT equipment. Companies and federal agencies may prefer or may now be required to deploy newer, more stringent government standards - which SSDs validated to FIPS 140-3 requirements would meet. Compared to the previous FIPS 140-2 requirements, 140-3 provides higher standards for SSDs, including a stronger authentication method and updated implementation guidance. </p> <p>Kioxia brought PCIe 5.0 technology to server and storage applications with the KIOXIA CM7 Series NVMe SSD. Targeted at enterprise applications and use cases - including artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, online transaction processing database, and data warehousing - KIOXIA CM7 Series drives bring enterprise performance, reliability and security to data center servers and storage. </p> <p>KIOXIA CM7 Series SSD Key Features include: </p> <ul> <li>PCIe 5.0 compliant NVMe SSDs in 2.5-inch<sup>(1)</sup> and E3.S SSD form factors </li> <li>Dual and single-port support </li> <li>Read-intensive and mixed-use endurances </li> <li>Capacities from 1.6 terabytes (TB) to 30.72 TB (15.36 TB in E3.S form factor) </li> <li>Security options include: sanitize instant erase (SIE)<sup> (2)</sup>, TCG Opal self-encrypting drive (SED)<sup> (3)</sup> and SED utilizing FIPS 140-3 Level 2 module </li> </ul> <table cellspacing=
