KIOXIA SSD 256GB BG6 NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 2280 KBG60ZNV256G Solid State Drive

The purchase price suggested that this Kioxia 256GB SSD may have been used. In fact, the one I received had an HP OEM copy of Windows 11 Home written to it. Windows was in the pre-initial-boot state suggesting that it was pulled from an unused HP laptop--so, essentially new. Works great as the boot drive in a Dell system running the XCP-ng hypervisor. Good deal.

Although not as aesthetically pleasing, they kinda look like bacon strips, they work as advertised. I used mine to keep my windows 11 boot drive untouched while installing Elementary OS Linux on this one. Works exactly as expected!

I bought this NVMe drive because the price was right and I wanted to replace the SSD 2.5" I was using in my Mini PC appliance that I use for OPNsense as a home router. Faster writes to logs is important with a high traffic device like a router/firewall. It's only been a few days, but this drive performs very well, is cost effective, and exceeds my expectations. I'll try to update this with performance data soon. Let's be honest though, if you're looking at this drive, it's because you're looking for something small and cheap, and this does the job! No issues with it at all. I used clonezilla to clone my 256gb WD blue 2.5" SSD and it performs beautifully. The WD blue, despite being 256GB, was actually only 250GB. This is 256GB, which means I had no problem cloning my ZFS vdevs to it (ZFS partitions can't be shrunk, so I would have needed to do a new install of this drive was even 1mb too small). Worth the price!

Este disco viene con archivos se instalación de Windows 10, no se cual será el objetivo, ya había leído en otro review que un cliente le había pasado lo mismo pero pensé que podría ser un error. Este producto es el mas barato que encontré en Amazon de esta capacidad.

So far this 256GB M.2 nvme ssd checks all the boxes. It's not crazy large, but it does have great value. I bought two of these to put in off lease Dell 400 G5 SFF pcs that were both using a Dell enterprise 2.5" HDDs. No more spindle noise with solid state! I was surprised at the high speeds for sequential read/write, and I guess an NVME device will lend itself to better performance. I'll come back if there are any reliability issues/concerns, but I don't expect any given that this is a Toshiba device (though they've rebranded to Kioxia). In my experience their memory has always been as reliable as the best in class.

I question if it's a new drive. There is a sticker on it that says "Replace With HP Spare". See photo.

Great savings with used.

Fast shipping, works perfectly, but it didn't came in the original box, just a antistatic bag, it seams like was used but for the price is ok

Con un costo molto contenuto ha dato nuova vita a un notebook con hard disk tradizionale altrimenti inutilizzabile per lentezza.. ottimo prodotto.
