KIOXIA's BG5 series is a range of compact NVMe SSDs with capacities up to 1,024GB, using a PCIe 4.0 and NVMe 1.4 compliant interface and KIOXIA 112layer BiCS FLASH 3D TLC flash memory (3 bits per cell). Thanks to higher bandwidth and improved flash management as well as "Host Memory Buffer" technology (HMB), the BG5 singlepackage SSDs offer bestinclass read performance: they achieve up to 3500 MB/s (sequential read) and up to 500,000 IOPS (random read) with an active power consumption of up to 4.3 W (typ.). The BG5 series is available in 256, 512 and 1,024 GB capacities and in M.2 Type 2230 and Type 2280 module form factors, making it equally suitable for thin and light system designs (eg ultrathin PCs) as well as embedded devices and data centre server boot applications.
