Kioxia's latest drive for the consumer market space is the Exceria Plus G4, the company's first Gen 5 consumer-orientated SSD. Using a combination of a Phison controller and Kioxia 218-layer NAND, it offers sequential read and write speeds of up to 10,000MB/s and 8,200MB/s, respectively.
At the time of writing, the Exceria Plus G4 lineup consists of just two capacities, 1TB and 2TB (the drive we are looking at here). At the heart of the drive is a Phison PS5031-E31T 4-channel controller paired up with Kioxia's BiCS8 218-layer 3D TLC NAND.
Kioxia rates the Sequential performance of the 2TB Exceria Plus G4 as up to 10,000MB/s for reads and up to 8,200MB/s for writes. The 1TB drive gets the same 10,000MB/s figure for reads, but writes are down to 7,900MB/s. Random performance is quoted as up to 1,300,000 IOPS for reads and up to 1,400,000 IOPS for writes for both drives.
The 2TB drive gets a TBW endurance rating of 1,200TB while the 1TB gets 600TB, and Kioxia backs the drives with a 5-year warranty.
