New Client SSD Lineup Provides Affordable Solution for PC Applications<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KIOXIA Europe GmbH<\/a> today announced KIOXIA EG7 Series solid state drives (SSDs), the first client solution to adopt KIOXIA\u2019s BiCS FLASH\u2122 generation 8 4-bit-per-cell, quadruple-level cell (QLC) technology. The QLC-based KIOXIA EG7 Series delivers equivalent performance as TLC-based solutions[1]<\/sup>, enabling better total cost of ownership (TCO) for value-oriented slim laptops, as well as commercial and consumer notebooks and desktops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KIOXIA EG7 Series SSDs bring the performance and power efficiency advantages of KIOXIA BiCS FLASH\u2122 generation 8 QLC 3D flash memory to common computing workloads for PC OEMs. The new drives deliver random read and write performance of up to 1,000 KIOPS, sequential read speed of up to 7,000 MB\/s, and sequential write speed of up to 6,200 MB\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KIOXIA EG7 Series incorporates NVMe 2.0d support, giving PC OEMs greater flexibility in system design and device management. The drives are offered in M.2 Type 2230, Type 2242, and Type 2280 form factors, enabling broader compatibility across diverse system configurations and space constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioned within KIOXIA\u2019s value-oriented client SSD portfolio, the DRAM-less KIOXIA EG7 Series leverages mature Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, utilizing a portion of system memory to help improve TCO and power consumption while maintaining responsive performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cModern client storage must balance performance, efficiency and cost to meet the evolving needs of everyday business computing. With the KIOXIA EG7 Series, we deliver great design flexibility and device management supported through NVMe 2.0d, while also leveraging our BiCS FLASHTM <\/sup>generation 8 QLC for improved power efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership\u201d, explains Axel Stoermann, VP & Chief Technology Officer at KIOXIA Europe GmbH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
