Utilizing a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface arrangement, the KIOXIA BG5 Series SSDs support 64GT/s performance.
Despite their compact form factors (M.2 Type 2230 and M.2 Type 2280), they offer data storage capacities of up to 1,024GB. This makes these drives particularly well suited to space-constrained applications with limited power budgets where large quantities of data must be stored. These include ultra-thin PCs, notebooks, IoT/embedded devices, plus data centres’ server boot systems. Running off a 3.3V supply, even the highest capacity models typically only draw 4.3W when active and 3mW while in L1.2 (idle) mode.
