Kioxia BG5 1TB SSD Review

For testing, the drives are all wiped and reset to factory settings by HDDerase V4. We try to use free or easily available programs and some real-world testing so you can compare our findings against your own system.
This is a good way to measure potential upgrade benefits.

Main system:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, 16GB DDR4-2400, Sapphire R9 390 Nitro and an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge Wifi motherboard

All our results were achieved by running each test five times with every configuration. This ensures that any glitches are removed from the results. Trim is confirmed as running by typing “fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify” into the command line. A response of “disabledeletenotify =0” confirms TRIM is active.
