How important is the use of an SSD? I would say now fundamental. The time saved, especially when starting the computer, are considerable and allow us to optimize all our actions. Which SSD to choose? Now there are many and prices are becoming more and more affordable for everyone. Today, in the Kioxia Exceria Plus review, let's talk about a SSD NVMe. It is a M.2 in 2 TB format. Certainly a considerable size for an SSD, how will it have behaved?
In our Kioxia Exceria Plus review abbiamo analyzed le performance of the product, comparing them with two other NVMe M.2 SSDs we had available. So let's see all the details.
Kioxia Exceria Plus: our review
THENVMe M2 Kioxia Exceria Plus SSD has a very classic shape and look. We don't have any particular LED lighting, or quirks of any kind. It has a rather common size, we are talking about 80,15 × 22,15 × 3,73 mm and is available in cuts from 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. In our review we looked at the 2 TB version.
Il Product connects directly to the motherboard in the appropriate section, therefore there are no cables or other. The memory is made up with BiCS Flash, Or a three-dimensional memory which develops in the vertical dimension and allows you to have agreat storage experience. THE'SSD M2 Kioxia Exceria Plus it consists of a technology NVMe 1.3c, with a form factor M.2 2280. The interface is there PCI Express Gen3 x4 Lane.
KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS NVMe 1 TB PCIe 3.0 Gen3x4 M.2 2280 SSD,...
- Flash BiCS.
- NVMe 1.3c technology
- Form factor M.2 2280.
Regarding performance, Kioxia offers important features: 3.400MB / s maximum sequential read speed, 3.200MB / s maximum sequential write speed, 680.000 IOPS maximum random read speed, and 620.000 IOPS maximum random write speed.
Thanks to SSD Utility management software, we have a way of to monitor the status of our product and always have an idea of how it works. Its use is really very simple. We can download it from the official page. Once opened we will be able to see a dashboard, which shows us in real time the status of the system, the health of the SSD, the capacity and the interface. We then have access to the functions of firmware update, very useful functionality for improve performance and stability. Also through software we also have the possibility to see the state of health. In addition, there are also the functions of Tuner SSD and support.
We have stressed the Kioxia Exceria Plus, here are the results
Without much hesitation, it's time to get in more in detail of the performance of our NVMe M.2 Kioxia Exceria Plus SSD. To see his performance in the field, we put him under stress using the major benchmarks at our disposal and we have compared the results with other M.2 SSDs. In detail, we made use of:
Our configuration includes:
- Intel core i7-8700K @3.7GHz
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super
- XPG Spectix D60G @3200MHz
- SSD GOODRAM IRDM PRO Gen.2 SATA
- Kioxia Exceria Plus M.2 NVMe SSD
Our Kioxia struggled with a 2GB Kingston M1000 SSD (SA8480M480G) and a 2TB Intel M010 SSD (SSDPEKNW8T1). We then also wanted to leave you the data compared to a simpler SATA SSD, the IRDM PRO, which we talked about some time ago.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities
The first challenge was held Anvil’s Storage Utilities, a comprehensive software that allows you to analyze any storage drive.
THESSD M2 Kioxia Exceria Plus got a score of 1608443, against the 591353 of the Kingston SA1000M8480G and the 998941 of the Intel. The SATA SSD, on the other hand, got a score of 546833.
ACT Benchmark
As a second test we put a strain on our product with ACT Disk Benchmark. The software in question measures the performance of storage systems using different sizes for read and write tests. Here is the result after the tests are completed.
AS SSD
We then tested sequential and random write and read performance making use of AS SSD. It is a program capable of monitoring the performance of SSDs, running three practical tests and five synthetic tests.
Il our Kioxia Exceria Plus achieved an excellent result: 2839,17 MB / s read and 2678,50 MB / s write, for a score of 6883. The Kingston showed a score of 1968, while the GOODRAM IRDM PRO SSD scored a final score of 1278.
CristalDiskMark
As a last test, we made a measurement with CristalDiskMark, a software capable of monitoring the sequential to random performance of a disk.
The software has given full confirmation of the great potential ofKioxia Exceria Plus NVMe M2 SSD. In detail we have obtained 3231,06 MB / s in writing and 3417,72 MB / s in reading.
The other adversaries gave the following results: 1473,49 MB / s read and 540,86 MB / s write for the Kingston, 1761,53 MB / s write and 1806,29 MB / s read for the Intel and 556,30 MB / s read and 532,01 MB / s write for the SATA IRDM.
Do we consider the Kioxia Exceria Plus a fair purchase?
Taking a single look at the packaging, yes we were convinced of the goodness of the Kioxia Exceria Plus. This is an SSD from excellent potential and large capacities. The tests carried out on the products, then, confirmed our theories. We have before us a definitely performing product ample storage space. THE'NVMe M2 SSD proved to be the best among all its rivals, showing excellent performance. Not only was it significantly better than a SATA SSD, but it was able to beat other M2 format competitors.
In short, are you looking for a fast and performing product? A product able to open your programs in a nano second? Do you want to transfer data at the speed of light? Well, the Kioxia Exceria Plus certainly is the product of which do you need, without a doubt.
