Kioxia: Launch of PCIe 5.0 compatible SSD for personal use

KIOXIA Corporation plans to begin selling the “EXCERIA PLUS G4 SSD Series” as a new personal SSD product under the “KIOXIA” brand from late January [Note 1] . It is recommended for gamers and content creators who want high performance from their PCs for gaming, video editing, and other uses. The “EXCERIA PLUS G4 SSD Series” supports the PCIe® 5.0 interface and achieves a maximum sequential read speed of 10,000MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 8,200MB/s [ Note 2] (2TB).

In terms of power efficiency, this series has achieved an improvement of approximately 80% [Note 3] in maximum sequential read speed compared to the previous generation EXCERIA PLUS G3 series . In addition, it uses a label with a heat spreader to support heat dissipation.

The “EXCERIA PLUS G4 series” is equipped with our company’s three-dimensional flash memory “BiCS FLASH™”, and the form factor is M.2 2280 single-sided mounting type that is easy to install in desktop PCs and notebook PCs. Capacity can be selected from 1TB or 2TB [Note 4] . In addition, paper trays are used for packaging to reduce plastic waste.

[Note 1] KIOXIA brand personal SSD products are manufactured by KIOXIA Corporation, and in Japan, Buffalo Inc. will handle sales and product support. [
Note 2] Read and write speeds vary depending on the host system, read and write conditions, file size, etc.
[Note 3] As of December 16, 2024, according to KIOXIA research. This is the read speed per unit of power consumption obtained under specific conditions in KIOXIA’s test environment. Power efficiency indicates performance per unit of power consumption. (Calculation formula: 2,013MB/s/W (EXCERIA PLUS G4 1TB) ÷ 1,073MB/s/W (EXCERIA PLUS G3 1TB))
[Note 4] Storage capacity: Calculated based on 1MB (1 megabyte) = 1,000,000 (10 to the power of 6) bytes, 1GB (1 gigabyte) = 1,000,000,000 (10 to the power of 9) bytes, and 1TB (1 terabyte) = 1,000,000,000,000 (10 to the power of 12) bytes. However, computer operating systems that use the formula 1GB = 1,073,741,824 (2 to the power of 30) bytes as drive capacity will display a smaller capacity than stated. Drive capacity will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software, operating system, and other factors.
