KIOXIA is a combination of the Japanese word kioku meaning “memory” and the Greek word axia meaning “value”. Merging “memory” with “value”, KIOXIA represents the company’s mission to uplift the world with “memory”, which forms the foundation of the company’s vision. KIOXIA will cultivate the new era of memory, defined by rapidly increasing demands for large-capacity, high-performance storage and data processing, which positions the company to grow sustainably as a leading flash memory producer for many years to come.
Toshiba Memory drove the technological evolution of flash memory from its invention in 1984 to today’s breakthrough BiCS FLASH™ 3D technology. As society creates increasing amounts of active data through new technologies such as 5G, IoT and cloud computing, more memory and storage is needed than ever before.
As an industry pioneer and continued global leader in flash memory and solid-state drives, KIOXIA continues to move the industry forward.
Retail consumer products, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), microSD cards and USB flash, will continue under the Toshiba brand name. Retail consumer products released during 2020 will be under the KIOXIA brand.
