SSD M.2 PCIe 4.0 Kioxia Esceria Basic 2TB

KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB NVMe SSD

The KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB is a high-capacity NVMe solid-state drive designed for modern desktop PCs and gaming systems that support PCIe 4.0 storage. With a generous 2TB capacity, it provides ample space for operating systems, games, applications and personal files while maintaining a compact M.2 format. The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCIe 4.0 ×4 NVMe interface, making it suitable for systems designed around current-generation storage technology. Its combination of substantial capacity, high transfer speeds and compact physical dimensions makes the EXCERIA BASIC 2TB a practical choice for users looking to expand or upgrade their PC storage without adding traditional drive bays or cabling.

PCIe 4.0 ×4 NVMe Performance

The KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB delivers high sequential storage performance, with rated speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s sequential read and 6,800 MB/s sequential write. These speeds are designed to provide fast data transfers when working with large files, installing applications or managing a modern gaming library. The drive also offers rated random performance of up to 1,000K IOPS for reading and up to 1,250K IOPS for writing, supporting responsive storage operation across a range of workloads. With its PCIe 4.0 ×4 NVMe interface and NVMe 2.0d support, the drive is built around a modern storage architecture that complements compatible gaming PCs, workstations and everyday desktop systems.

2TB Capacity with 3D NAND QLC

Storage capacity is one of the key strengths of the KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB, providing 2TB of usable-class storage capacity in a compact M.2 drive. The SSD uses 3D NAND QLC memory, providing a high-density storage solution suitable for users who need substantial space for games, software, media and personal files. A 2TB drive can also help reduce the need for multiple separate storage devices, allowing more content to be kept on a single internal SSD. For gaming PCs, this means more room for modern game installations, while desktop and productivity users can use the capacity for applications, projects and larger file collections. The M.2 design keeps the installation compact and avoids the additional power and data cables associated with traditional SATA drives.

600 TBW Endurance and 1.5 Million Hour MTTF

The KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB is specified with an endurance rating of 600 TBW, indicating the total amount of data written over the rated service life of the drive. It also carries an MTTF rating of 1.5 million hours, providing an additional specification for its expected operational reliability. These characteristics make the SSD suitable for a wide range of everyday computing workloads, including gaming, application storage, general desktop use and file management. The combination of a 2TB capacity, high sequential transfer speeds and defined endurance rating provides a balanced storage solution for modern PC builds. Whether used as primary storage for an operating system and applications or as a dedicated games and data drive, the EXCERIA BASIC provides substantial capacity in a compact NVMe format.

Compact M.2 2280 Design

The KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, measuring approximately 80.15 × 22.15 × 2.38 mm. Its compact dimensions allow the drive to be installed directly onto a compatible motherboard without requiring a separate storage enclosure, drive cage or SATA cabling. The slim M.2 format is particularly useful in modern gaming PCs and compact systems where internal space and cable management are important considerations. Combined with the PCIe 4.0 ×4 NVMe interface, the drive provides a modern internal storage solution that can be integrated neatly into compatible systems. With 2TB capacity, high rated sequential performance and 3D NAND QLC memory, the KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC offers a practical combination of capacity, speed and compact design.
