Kioxia Exceria Plus G2 SSDs use an 8-channel Toshiba TC58NC1201GST- 00-BB brand controller. And DRAM-cache is represented by two Samsung DDR4-266 MHz chips, 4GB each. You can expect Mean Time Between Failure of 1,500,000 hours and Total Bytes Written of 400TB for the 1TB model under test.

The maximum speed is achieved through SLC caching: a small amount of memory runs in SLC mode to increase the speed. As soon as it runs out, the speed is significantly reduced. Based on synthetic tests, the drive mostly demonstrates the advertised performance.
