The Kioxia XG8 is a new line of SSDs announced by the company formerly known as Toshiba Memory America, Inc. It is designed to cover a wide range of devices, as it can be installed in laptops and desktops with any range of functions, including gaming machines. or workstation.

The Kioxia XG8 expands the range of SSDs connected to the interface PCIe Gen 4most powerful for client storage until Gen5 drives are likely to arrive by the end of the year.

The disks use the form factor M.2 2280, which completely takes over new computers. The interface used is the above PCIe Gen4 x4 and the protocol is NVMe 1.4the most advanced available, enabling improved temperature control and power failure notifications to protect data from forced shutdown.

Used NAND flash memory they are their own and have deserved and deserved glory because Toshiba produced the best in the segment. They are a fifth-generation 112-layer BiCS NAND flash that Kioxia manages internally, also with its own driver.

Like other units of this manufacturer, we must highlight safety features of these units because they have comprehensive data protection for greater data integrity and are optionally compatible with solutions that use the latest TCG Pyrite and Opal standards.

Kioxia did not provide specific performance data other than to ensure this “Delivers state-of-the-art performance to demanding customer environments”. Depending on the memory and interface used, it must offer sequential read data transfer performance in the environment 7,000 MB per second.

The Kioxia XG8 will be available in four storage capacities: 512 GB, 1, 2 and 4 TB. We do not have the prices or availability of these solutions, which should continue to encourage the purchase of SSDs connected to the PCIe Gen4 interface, the most interesting on the market.
