Kioxia showed off its latest optical SSD technology at Computex 2025. According to the storage giant, this new solution offers several key advantages over conventional electrically connected SDDs. The most important benefit we saw was the ability to offer the same performance as a conventional SSD even if connected via optical cabling 30m long (or more). Kyocera was Kioxia’s partner in this demo, as the system used featured one of its Optinity PCIe cards.
