Notes
[1] Read and write speed may vary depending on various factors such as host devices, software (drivers, OS etc.), and read/write conditions.
[2] Based on Kioxia research (as of May 25, 2023). These values are the best read out speed per power consumption obtained in a specific test environment at Kioxia Corporation.
*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 = 230 = 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.
*The line up of personal product vary by country and region.
*Product images may differ from actual product.
*PCIe is a registered trademark of PCI-SIG.
*NVMe is a registered or unregistered mark of NVM Express, Inc. in the United States and other countries.
*Other company names, product names, and service names may be trademarks of third-party companies.
