In reply to Dave. Are you trying to warranty a product as mentioned? Kioxia has never offered consumer level products.

KIOXIA no longer sells personal products in the U.S. and they don’t provide an explanation. A quote from their website:

“Unfortunately, our lineup of consumer flash and storage products are no longer available in the United States, but we will continue to offer support for Toshiba Memory and OCZ SSDs. Here you can research warranty information and get support for your legacy products.”

I have looked for information on this, but I couldn’t find anything about it. The XG7 and XG7-P sounded very promising. They don’t even mention these SSDs on their website.

I can’t wait for you to get your hands on the XG7 client SSD and review it. I hope for improved QD1 randoms, as sequential R/Ws are quick enough for me already. We can always use a more snappy PC though!

3D TLC running in pseudo-SLC (pSLC) is a good alternative to SLC and provides up to 10X greater endurance over standard TLC, while also providing slightly better performance and higher reliability, especially in industrial temperature (-40C to 85C) type applications.

In reply to Carsten Pauer. SLC these days is only something you will find dealing with the manufacturers that own the fabs themselves...and you are never going to find a SLC 16TB notebook SSD anywhere. It is not physically possible. Thanks for jumping in and commenting!
