EXCERIA PRO SSD / EXCERIA G2 SSD: Sequential speeds are measured with CrystalDiskMark 8.0.1 x64, Q=32, T=1.
EXCERIA PLUS G4 SSD / EXCERIA PLUS G3 SSD / EXCERIA with Heatsink SSD: Sequential speeds are measured with CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 x64, Q=32, T=1.
EXCERIA PLUS G2 SSD / EXCERIA PLUS SSD / EXCERIA SSD: Sequential speeds are measured with CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 x64, Q=32, T=1.
EXCERIA SATA SSD: Sequential speeds are measured with ATTO v3.05, QD10.
These values are the best values obtained in a specific test environment at KIOXIA Corporation and KIOXIA Corporation warrant neither read nor write speeds in individual devices. Read and write speed may vary depending on a device used and file size read or written.
EXCERIA PRO SSD/ EXCERIA G2 SSD: 4KiB random performance is measured with CrystalDiskMark 8.0.1 x64, Q=32,T=16.
EXCERIA PLUS G4 SSD / EXCERIA PLUS G3 SSD / EXCERIA with Heatsink SSD: 4KiB random performance is measured with CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 x64, Q=32,T=16.
EXCERIA PLUS G2 SSD / EXCERIA PLUS SSD / EXCERIA SSD: 4KiB random performance is measured with CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 x64, Q=32,T=8.
EXCERIA SATA: 4KiB random performance is measured with CrystalDiskMark 5.1.2 x64 QD32.
These values are the best values obtained in a specific test environment at KIOXIA Corporation and KIOXIA Corporation warrant neither read nor write speeds in individual devices. Read and write speed may vary depending on a device used and file size read or written.
Definition and conditions of TBW (Terabytes Written) are based on JEDEC standard; JESD219A Solid-State Drive (SSD) Endurance Workloads, July 2012, and defined for the service life.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE EITHER (I) WARRANTY PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE IN ITS ORIGINAL SEALED PACKAGING OR (II) FOR THE TIME PERIOD UNTIL THE "PERCENTAGE LIFE LEFT" WILL BE ZERO, WHICHEVER IS SHORTER. The "Percentage Life Left" can be found using "Health" gauge of the SSD Utility for KIOXIA products, which is available at "personal.kioxia.com/support/".
KIOXIA Corporation defines “RoHS Compatible” products as products that either ( i ) contain no more than a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in Homogeneous Materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and of 0.01% by weight in Homogeneous Materials for cadmium; or ( ii ) fall within any of the application exemptions set forth in the Annex to the RoHS Directive(*). This does not mean that Kioxia Corporation products labeled “RoHS COMPATIBLE” are entirely free of substances controlled by the RoHS Directive and does not constitute a warranty or guarantee that such products will comply with the specific laws and/or regulations adopted in any particular jurisdiction.
*RoHS Directive: KIOXIA Corporation defines “RoHS Directive” as the DIRECTIVE 2011/65/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Compatibility confirmed by KIOXIA's own testing in accordance with the PS5 manufacturer's technical requirements. Tested system software version: 23.02-08.40.00.05-00.00.00.0.1, as of 20.5.2024.
These values are the read out speed per power consumption obtained in a specific test environment at Kioxia Corporation. Power efficiency is the useful output which is measured in tasks per watt.

Definition of capacity: KIOXIA defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

A kibibyte (KiB) means 2^10 bytes, or 1,024 bytes, a mebibyte (MiB) means 2^20 bytes, or 1,048,576 bytes, and a gibibyte (GiB) means 2^30 bytes, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

IOPS: Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second)

MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF.

PCIe VDM (Vendor Defined Messages) is NOT supported.

Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.

Product specifications and design are subject to change without prior notice.

Product images may represent design model. Actual product may vary.

To protect against accidental data loss, back up your data frequently on other storage media. KIOXIA Corporation does not warrant any data stored on the product.
