The KIOXIA EXCERIA PRO 2TB is a relatively fast data carrier that unfortunately also has a small contradiction. On the one hand, a state-of-the-art and fast controller is used, and on the other hand, it is only paired with the older 112-layer BiCS5 NAND, although BiCS6 has also been announced for a while. To be fair, I have to preface this so that you can properly and objectively classify the title and also the results of the test. BiCS5 is not bad per se, but it also has a limited number of interfaces nowadays and the NAND memory definitely shows its age. Of course, this could also be compensated by the price, because BiCS5 can still keep up in many aspects, but more about that in the conclusion.
