Kioxia adds liquid-cooled options to enterprise SSD family

Kioxia has added direct-liquid-cooling models to its CM9 enterprise SSD line. The E3.S drives are designed for cold-plate server deployments and can also be used with air cooling. The supplied report lists capacities up to 30.72TB. Pricing and general availability were not announced, so the stated market significance is added design flexibility for data-center storage rather than a measurable supply or price change.
