OEM Kiox 256GB M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD Internal Solid State Drive 30mm 2230 Form Factor M Key Steam Deck

Wanted to setup a bootable SSD drive on my Raspberry Pi 5 using a PCIe M.2 HAT board. I struggled for days with a WD-based drive that refused to boot after restarts. I was at a loss until I read that I needed an SSD card that was compatible. This Kioxia 256GB M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD did the trick. It works perfectly with my board and the Pi now boots from the drive without any issues. And boy is it speedy!

This thing is amazing in the Steamdeck. Installation is about as easy as it can get and it speeds it up drastically compared to the 64gb emmc. Just a heads up though.. If you have a somewhat newer Steamdeck, your buttons and triggers will not work during the reinstallation of the os. The only thing that works is the touch screen. But, once you update the os, all of your buttons will work again. It was a sketchy 10 minutes or so after I put the thing back together and the buttons didn't work. So I wanted to give you all a heads up. I got this for $12.50 for the 256gb mainly to speed up boot times. It's probably the best $12.50 I ever spent and I'll probably upgrade to a bigger one when the prices come down a bit.

Did its job on a steam deck I sold even tho its is on the cheaper side

[Review for the 256GB Kioxia BG5 (4th gen?) // Seller: OEMGENUINE] I upgraded the storage in my Surface Pro 7+ w/ this, replacing the OEM Samsung drive. This Kioxia is surprisingly a lot better of a drive. According to Kioxia, the performance is up to [3,400 MB/s Read] and [1,900 MB/s Write]. For random IOPS [350k Read] and [360K Write]. This drive is impressively quick and it certainly feels as such, w/ the OS feeling a lot snappier for a lot of tasks. I only got a fraction of the IOPS, but that's probably due to the PCI-E bus in this Surface or because the drive is not empty. Still a large upgrade over my prior Samsung, and R/W speeds were w/in spec. Kioxia's warranty (not sure if applicable w/ the seller) has an endurance rating of 150 TBW, which is seems to be an industry standard. Overall, I highly recommended the product.

Used this SSD with 2 different NVMe hats/cases for my Pi 5, works amazingly well. With pciex gen 3 in config.txt, I get consistently around 750MB/sec reads and 650MB/sec writes, quick enough for a Pi for sure.

It works like it should, a great and cheap storage solution. Works fast n reliable. Just writing this so others who had Steam Decks knew it's a good bargain!

The drive was not in new condition-Crystal Disk Info reported that it had been lightly used. Packaging was not sufficient-the drive was shipped in a plastic container designed for a larger drive, with a retaining screw loose in the package as well. However, drive is functional and great value for money.

Boots/works/fits with my raspberry pi just fine with an adapter. No complaints about quality over performance even after several months. Easy to install.

I recently purchased the OEM Kioxia 256GB M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD Internal Solid State Drive with the intention of using it alongside a CFExpress Type B Adapter for my Nikon Z6ii camera. Initially, the SSD seemed to function well, offering ample storage capacity and swift data transfer speeds. However, I encountered some drawbacks during use, which led to uncertainty regarding the source of the issue – whether it stemmed from the CFExpress Adapter or the SSD itself. While the SSD appeared to be compatible with the adapter and the camera. The fast read and write speeds provided by the SSD were beneficial for capturing high-resolution images and videos without experiencing lag or delays. The OEM Kioxia 256GB M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD Internal Solid State Drive shows promise as a storage solution for cameras like the Nikon Z6ii when paired with a CFExpress Type B Adapter. However, potential compatibility issues and reliability concerns may warrant further investigation before committing to this setup. Maybe I needed to purchase a more reliable CFExpress Adapter.

Used for a cfexpress type B housing for gh6/7 camera for prores recording. No issues.

Trae Windows instalada en la memoria por ser oem de otra laptop Este era de una hp Pero estaba limpia la instalación Es más rápida y con un buen disipador no se calienta Buena compra

Lo use en mis steam deck de 64 Gb para almenos tener algo de espacio y funcionó, tuve que estar muy cerca a mi router para poder instalar el sistema operativo porque el proceso de instalacion tardo alrededor de 60 intentos al estar alejado tuve que acercarme y funciono, lo digo por si a alguien le soluciona una situacion similar llevo 2 semanas y sigue funcionando, actualizare en unos meses por si deja de funcionar

Un buen producto por el precio
