How fast is the Kioxia BG4 1Tb and further specs watch here.

Kioxia's 1Tb BG4 SSD is powered by Toshiba controller. The BG4 comes equipped with Toshiba 3D TLC flash memory. SSD also available in 3 capacities: 128 Gb, 512 Gb and 256 Gb volume sizes.

Performance and benchmarks

SSD use PCIe M.2 3.0 x 4 2230 S3 computer expansion bus standard with read speeds 2300 Mbps, and sequential write speeds equals to 1800 MB/s. This model has input/output performance 200000 on writing and 390000 on reading operations per second.

Endurance and warranty

Kioxia give 5 years warranty period. The BG4 has 1.5 million hours mean time between failure.
