About This Product
The Kioxia BG4 512GB is an M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD. Its compact form factor is suitable for devices with limited space, such as laptops or mini PCs. Performance is typical for a PCIe Gen 3 drive, offering sequential read/write speeds that are significantly faster than SATA SSDs but slower than current PCIe Gen 4 or Gen 5 alternatives. This drive is a cost-effective upgrade for systems still using SATA or older NVMe drives, providing a noticeable boost in general system responsiveness.
Verdict
βGood for compact systems needing a basic NVMe upgrade, but better performance exists for the price.β
