Kioxia has developed a new AI SSD that is designed to provide a secondary cache for Nvidia AI GPUs. The new drive comes with the manufacturer's XL-Flash that is SLC based and performs at over 10 million IOPS.

The Exascend PE4 16TB, one of the first 16TB M.2 SSDs, has gone up for purchase on Amazon for a jaw-dropping $15,935.

The Seagate FireCuda X1070 is a budget-minded SSD done mostly right. It performs well enough and has excellent support, but initial pricing is high. A Gen 4 SSD that you can just throw into any system and get the job done.
