About This Product
The Kioxia BG5 is a 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. This drive offers entry-level PCIe 4.0 performance, suitable for basic system drives or secondary storage where high-end speeds are not critical. Its small capacity and DRAM-less design position it below enthusiast-grade PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
