CONCLUSION

    At 5000MB/s in reads and 3900MB/s in writes (max advertised number) the EXCERIA PLUS G3 might not be the fastest Gen 4 SSD out there but it should be more the sufficient for consumers on a budget. Durability numbers although far from impressive are good and as for warranty 5-years is not something we see a lot, especially not with mid-end models. My main complaint with the EXCERIA PLUS G3 is that it’s not available at 4TB (nor 500GB but not many do buy such capacities nowadays) and by now I was hoping more manufacturers would have released 8TB ones.

    Right now, the EXCERIA PLUS G3 2TB PCIe 4.0 Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSD by KIOXIA retails for 118.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is more or less what you’d expect. Again, the EXCERIA PLUS G3 2TB might not be the fastest Gen 4 SSD out there but it does offer good performance and endurance and for that I do recommend giving it a chance.
