KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation, a leader in memory solutions, has unveiled KIOXIA EG7 Series solid state drives (SSDs), its first client solution to adopt BiCS FLASH generation 8 4-bit-per-cell, quadruple-level cell (QLC) technology.
The QLC-based drives deliver performance comparable to triple-level cell (TLC) solutions while offering improved total cost of ownership for value-orientated slim laptops, as well as commercial and consumer notebooks and desktops.
According to Kioxia in a statement, the drives bring the performance and power efficiency advantages of its generation 8 QLC 3D flash memory to mainstream computing workloads for personal computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The new drives deliver random read and write performance of up to 1,000 KIOPS, sequential read speed of up to 7,000 megabytes per second (MB/s), and sequential write speed of up to 6,200 MB/s.
The drives incorporate NVMe 2.0d support, giving PC OEMs greater flexibility in system design and device management, and are available in M.2 Type 2230, 2242 and 2280 form factors, allowing flexibility across different system configurations and space constraints.
Positioned within Kioxia’s value-orientated client SSD portfolio, the DRAM-less KIOXIA EG7 Series leverages mature Host Memory Buffer technology, utilising a portion of system memory to help improve total cost of ownership and power consumption.
Additional features include PCIe 4.0 compliance, self-encrypting drive support based on TCG Opal 2.02, and capacities of 512 gigabytes (GB), 1,024 GB, and 2,048 GB.
The KIOXIA EG7 Series is currently sampling to select PC OEM customers, with PC shipments equipped with the SSD expected to begin from the second quarter of 2026.
