The manufacturer KIOXIA Europe GmbH has announced two new series of solid state drives designed for the domestic market that will be commercialized in the last quarter of this year. These are the KIOXIA EXCERIA PRO and EXERIA G2 series of SSDs, intended for the most extreme enthusiasts and system builders in general.

 

These new KIOXIA SDD units will be at a landmark show at the China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference (ChinaJoy) in Shanghai from July 30 to August 2. They are still in development, so they will not be test units.

 

KIOXIA breaks into the domestic SSD market

 

By using the latest generation PCIe Gen4x4 interface, KIOXIA's EXCERIA PRO series of SSDs are built for the most demanding PC environments. This newly created series will offer more than double the sequential read speeds of the EXCERIA PLUS series based on PCIe Gen3. This offers a high-performance storage experience for the most demanding content creators, gamers, and professionals.

 

KIOXIA also unveiled its updated series of SSDs known as EXCERIA G2, which is intended for more widespread use. Despite its more restrained use, it has improved performance and capacity over its predecessors. Designed for general use, this SDD series will offer over 2,000MB / s of sequential throughput and models up to 2TB of capacity for users looking for affordable products.

 

With a KIOXIA BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory, the EXCERIA PRO and EXCERIA G2 series use a simple M.2 2280 type form factor. This factor makes it suitable for both notebook and desktop computers. The series of SSDs just announced by KIOXIA also support KIOXIA's SDD Utility management program to effectively monitor and maintain the SSD.
