*1 These samples are for the functional check purpose only and the specifications of the samples may differ in mass production.
*Read and write speed may vary depending on various factors such as host devices, software (drivers, OS etc.), and read/write conditions.
*Definition of capacity: Kioxia Corporation defines a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
* A kibibyte (KiB) means 2^10, or 1,024 bytes.
*DWPD: Drive Writes Per Day. One full drive write per day means the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity once a day every day under the specified workload for the specified lifetime. Actual results may vary due to system configuration, usage and other factors.
*NVMe and NVMe-MI are registered or unregistered trademarks of NVM Express, Inc. in the United States and other countries.
* OCP and OPEN COMPUTE PROJECT marks are owned by and used with the permission of the Open Compute Project Foundation.
*PCIe is registered trademark of PCI-SIG.
*Other company names, product names and service names may be trademarks of third-party companies.
