It is time to get to the biggest and fastest of the three drives in today’s tests, the Kioxia Exceria Plus. The Exceria Plus is aimed at enthusiasts and gamers who are the ones with the highest demands from their drives.
The Exceria Plus is also an M.2 NVMe drive and it is available in three capacity options: 500GB, 1TB, and the 2TB version which I’m testing today. Being a standard M.2 2280 module, the drive will fit into most modern systems without issues. It is a double-sided drive, at least in the 2TB version, but that won’t be an issue for 99% of all systems.
Just as the other two Exceria drives, this one is built with BiCS TLC NAND too which gives it a great performance as well as endurance.
The performance of this drive is great, reaching what the interface can deliver. It is rated for a sequential reading performance of 3400MB/s and writing performance of 3200MB/s. The random performance is rated at 680K IOPS when reading and 620K IOPS when writing.
As far as endurance is concerned, we get a TBW rating of 200TB per 500GB. That means that the 2TB I have in the office today has one of 800TB. Further, the drive is rated for an MTBF of 1.5 million hours and it is backed by a 5-year warranty.
