Description
Performance That Punches Above Budget
Sequential read and write speeds hit 555MB/s and 540MB/s respectively — competitive numbers for a SATA drive at this price, and enough to make any system feel dramatically more responsive than it would with a spinning disk. Random 4K performance reaches up to 82,000 read and 88,000 write IOPS, which covers everyday workloads like booting Windows, launching applications, and browsing large file directories without hesitation.
BiCS FLASH™ — Kioxia’s Own NAND
Every Exceria SSD is built with BiCS FLASH™ and a vertically stacked cell structure — Kioxia’s proprietary 3D NAND technology, developed in-house. Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory) is one of the few storage brands that actually manufactures its own NAND rather than sourcing it from third parties. That’s a meaningful quality assurance advantage at any price point.
Fit and Form Factor
The drive measures 100.45mm × 70.1mm × 7.2mm and weighs just 45.6g, fitting any standard 2.5″ SATA bay in a desktop or laptop. The SATA III interface is backwards compatible with SATA II, and DevSleep (DevSlp) support helps reduce power draw in compatible laptops — useful for battery life on mobile systems.
Kioxia SSD Utility
The SSD Utility management software lets you monitor drive health, run maintenance tasks, and check Percentage Life Left using a health gauge. It’s a small but handy addition, especially for businesses wanting visibility on drive condition without third-party tools.
⚠️ SATA only — this is a 2.5″ SATA III drive, not NVMe. It will not fit an M.2 slot. Confirm your system has a 2.5″ SATA bay before ordering.
💡 TBW note — the 480GB Exceria is rated at 120TB written with a 3-year warranty. This is lower than some competing drives at this capacity. For light to moderate desktop or laptop use it’s perfectly adequate, but for write-heavy workloads, consider a higher-endurance option like the Kingston KC600.
