The Exceria NVMe comes in a compact box with an image of the drive on the front, along with a sticker displaying the capacity of the drive and the drive's Sequential read speed (up to 7,300MB/s). The rear of the box has a description of the drive’s form factor, a small logo representing it uses BiCS Flash, PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface and has a 5-year warranty.

Built on a single-sided M.2 2280 format, the 2TB drive uses four 512GB packages of Kioxia's own BiCS5 112-layer 3D TLC NAND along with a Kioxia branded controller (TC58NC1210GSE) and a 2GB SK hynix DDR4-3200 cache chip.

 

 

The SSD Utility lets you check on the drive’s capacity, how it’s being used and how much life is left in the SSD. There’s a tuning section with an integrated benchmark so you can see how the drive is running. It also allows for easy implementation of firmware updates and there is a comprehensive help section as well.
