Kioxia BG6 Series M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 SSD Lineup Adds BiCS6 to the Mix

Stefan Mileschin · 23rd May 2023, 06:57

Kioxia's BG series of M.2 2230 client NVMe SSDs has proved popular among OEMs and commercial system builders due to their low cost and small physical footprint. Today, the company is introducing a new generation of products in this postage stamp-sized lineup. The BG6 series builds up on the Gen 4 support added in the BG5 by updating the NAND generation from BiCS5 (112L) to BiCS6 (162L) for select capacities. The increase in per-die capacity now allows Kioxia to bring 2TB M.2 2230 SSDs into the market. While the BG5 series came in capacities of up to 1TB, the BG6 series adds a 2TB SKU. However, the NAND generation update is only reserved for the 1TB and 2TB models.
