KIOXIA Exceria 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD

KIOXIA is the name Toshiba's memory division goes by now — same engineers who invented NAND flash, just rebranded. The Exceria 1TB is their value-tier PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive: ~1700 MB/s sequential reads, ~1600 MB/s writes, M.2 2280 form factor that fits any modern motherboard. Not the fastest drive on the market, but for a Windows boot + Office + game library combo, real-world load times are limited by other parts of the system long before the SSD becomes the bottleneck. 1TB capacity gives you room for a sensible game library without immediately rummaging in storage settings. 5-year warranty / 400 TBW endurance. We fit this on budget AM4 builds where the customer wants a reliable name-brand SSD without paying Samsung tax.
