Kioxia Expands Exceria G3 Line With 4 TB PCIe 5.0 SSD Option

Kioxia has broadened its Exceria G3 lineup with a new 4 TB M.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD, after initially launching the series in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities. The drive combines Kioxia's 218-layer BiCS8 3D QLC NAND with a Phison E31T DRAMless controller. According to the source details, the 4 TB version delivers up to 10 GB/s sequential read speed, up to 9.6 GB/s sequential write speed, up to 1.45 million 4K random read/write IOPS, 2,400 TBW endurance, 6.4 W peak power draw, and a five-year warranty. For RamTrend, the key takeaway is that Kioxia is pushing larger-capacity client SSD offerings built on QLC NAND, which supports the longer-term trend toward denser consumer storage products. However, the company did not disclose pricing, shipment scale, or any supply commentary, so the article does not provide a strong near-term signal for NAND pricing.
