Kioxia Intros Exceria Plus G4 M.2 NVMe Gen 5 SSD

Kioxia today introduced the Exceria Plus G4, a mid-range M.2 NVMe Gen 5 SSD. Built in the M.2-2280 form-factor, the drive takes advantage of the PCI-Express 5.0 x4 host interface, and comes in capacities of 1 TB and 2 TB. Both models offer sequential read speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s, but while the 1 TB model offers up to 7,900 MB/s sequential writes, the 2 TB model does up to 8,200 MB/s. 4K random access performance for both models are listed at up to 1.3 million IOPS reads, with up to 1.4 million IOPS writes. The 1 TB model endures up to 600 TBW of writes, while the 2 TB model is double that, at 1,200 TBW. Under the hood, the Kioxia Exceria Plus G4 appears to combine a Phison E31T series DRAMless NVMe Gen 5 controller, with Kioxia 218-layer BiCS flash memory. The company is backing the drive with 5-year product warranty. It didn't reveal pricing information.

Those specs are only a slight increase from PCIe v4.0 speeds. Is this company serious about selling their product with PCIe 5.0? Disappointing to say the least!

I really dislike those stickers.

They need to find something else as this "insulating" barrier. There is plenty of pcb space to use the usual paint writing. Or mark it on the edge. No one will really look on the labels when it's assembled

Air insulation makes sense with certain products, but not with this one.




This really hurts when you see it. Do they not teach physics anymore?
I think about less temperature in around 50 kelvin or more when i see a blue arrow which started with a red one.
Also that air insulation between the sticker and the pcb.

Not wise to name your Gen5 ssd as G4. I thought this is a gen 4 drive and clicked because of it even though @btarunr put gen 5 in the title. It would be worse on a shopping site. I guess the guy in the marketing department just asked chapgpt for a name. :laugh:
