SSD Kioxia 2 TB M.2 PCI Express 3.1a NVMe EXCERIA G2

The Kioxia EXCERIA G2 2 TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD upgrades mainstream storage performance for laptops and compact PCs. With a thin, single-sided M.2 2280 form factor, this drive installs directly on the motherboard to reduce cable clutter. Built on Kioxia’s BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory and using NVMe 1.3c over PCIe 3.1a, it lowers I/O latency versus SATA drives and delivers balanced read/write performance for everyday computing tasks.

Advantages

The EXCERIA G2 combines a compact M.2 2280 design with NVMe performance to replace slower SATA-based storage. It offers read speeds up to 2100 MB/s and write speeds up to 1700 MB/s, a 2 TB capacity option, and uses vertically stacked BiCS FLASH™ TLC for endurance and efficiency. Included SSD Utility management software enables monitoring, maintenance and firmware updates to help maintain drive health.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptop internal storage
• Replacing SATA SSDs or HDDs in compact desktops
• Everyday multitasking, office work and media storage
