It is the first product to feature the company’s new, 6th generation BiCS FLASHTM 3D flash memory and almost 1.7 times the performance of its predecessor[. Designed to unleash the increased speeds and affordability of PCIe® 4.0 for PC users, the powerful and compact KIOXIA BG6 Series client SSDs offer a discrete M.2 2230 form factor with higher capacities and improved power efficiency. M.2 2280 single-sided form factor versions are also available.

The KIOXIA BG6 Series unlocks back-end flash performance while maintaining affordability and increasing capacity, making it an attractive option for commercial and consumer notebooks and desktops.

The KIOXIA BG6 drives support the fully matured Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which utilizes part of the host memory (DRAM) as if it were its own, to realize a DRAM-less, high-performance SSD.

"The latest KIOXIA client SSD lineup boosts performance to new levels with its next-generation BG6 Series. They are well-suited for today's mobile and flexible 'work and play from anywhere' lifestyle, which modern consumers require for gaming and mobile computing. The BG6 Series also suits various embedded device applications," said Frederik Haak, Senior Manager SSD product marketing, KIOXIA Europe GmbH.
