In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the 16MB block mark at 8,449.12MB/s, well short of the official maximum figure of 14,900MB/s before dropping back to 7,888MB/s at QD32.

That 8,449.12MB/s result sees the drive in a lower mid-table position. It is 1,115MB/s faster than the previous Gen 5 Kioxia drive, the Exceria Plus G4, we've tested.

In the write throughput test, the drive peaked at 11,426.1MB/s at the 8MB block mark before dropping back a little to finish the test run at 11,397MB/s (QD16).

The drive with its 8-channel controller sits in a mid table position and is some 3,148MB/s faster than the previous Kioxia drive we tested, the Exceria Plus G4, which uses a 4-channel controller.
