Kioxia has announced a new 4TB model in its Exceria G3 SSD Series, expanding its range of consumer PCIe 5 drives with the very first QLC NAND-based model. 

This new high-capacity option is among the first consumer-available PCIe 5.0 SSDs to use quadruple-level cell (QLC) NAND. It leverages the Kioxia's 8th Gen BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology to deliver higher storage density, reducing cost per terabyte while targeting mainstream desktop and laptop builds.

Performance figures from Kioxia list the drive with sequential read speeds up to 10,000MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 9,600MB/s. Other figures shared by the manufacturer include a maximum random read/write speed of 1,450,000/1,450,000 IOPS, an MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) of 1.5 million hours, and a rated endurance of 2,400TBW. SSD health and other features can be managed through Kioxia's SSD Utility software.

Retail shipments for the Exceria G3 SSD 4TB model are scheduled to begin this month. Like the other Kioxia PCIe 5.0 SSDs, the Exceria G3 4TB SSD is backed by a 5-year warranty.
