Kioxia SSD BG4 Series M.2 2230 PCIe x4 NVMe

The BG4 series is a line-up of compact single package NVMe SSDs with capacities up to 1,024GB. It leverages a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and KIOXIA's 96-layer TLC BiCS FLASH. With higher bandwidth and improved flash management and Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, BG4 SSDs deliver best-in-class read performance in single package SSDs, with speeds of up to 2,300MB/s (sequential read) and up to 390K IOPS (random read), with active power consumption of up to 3.7W (typical).

The BG4 series is available in four capacities: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1,024GB, in surface-mount M.2 1620 single package or removable M.2 2230 module form factor options. This makes them suitable for thin and light system designs for ultra-thin PCs, as well as embedded devices and server boot in data centers.

The BG4 series includes an option for a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) model supporting TCG Opal Version 2.01.

Availability of the SED model line-up may vary by region. The specification of the BG4 self-encrypting drive (SED) will be released in the third quarter of the calendar year 2019.
