Internal SSD Kioxia LSF10Z001TG8 — 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe QLC

The KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC SSD Series is an entry-level PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 solid state drive available up to 2 TB. Using BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory and NVMe™ 2.0d technology, the drive offers up to 7,300 MB/s sequential read speed and is designed for desktop and notebook systems that need an affordable performance uplift from SATA or PCIe 3.0 drives.

Advantages

EXCERIA BASIC delivers a balance of price and performance, providing significantly faster read/write responses than typical SATA SSDs while remaining cost-effective. The NVMe 2.0d interface reduces I/O latency between the SSD and CPU for smoother system responsiveness. The series supports common M.2 2280 form factor installations and includes SSD Utility management software for monitoring drive health and performing maintenance.

How to use

Install the EXCERIA BASIC SSD into an M.2 2280 slot on a compatible motherboard or notebook following the device and system manufacturer instructions. Ensure your system supports PCIe Gen4 to obtain maximum performance; the drive is backwards compatible with PCIe Gen3 but with reduced bandwidth. After physical installation, install the provided SSD Utility management software, update it to the latest version, and check the drive health and Percentage Life Left gauge to monitor wear and performance.

Recommendations

For best results, pair the drive with a system that supports PCIe 4.0, keep the SSD Utility updated, and ensure adequate cooling in tight laptop bays or compact desktop enclosures to sustain peak performance.
