1.0 General Description

Taking the advantages of NAND flash memory, Solid State Drive (SSD) provides better solutions
on durability, performance, and power efficiency over traditional hard disk drives. Employing static
wear-leveling technology to maximize device mean time between failures (MTBF), The SSD
solutions are your best choice on wide-ranged mobile computing devices and consumer electronic
products. With standard SATA form factor or customized module form factor, The M.2 SSD
IM2S3168 (KIOXIA OG IC Edition) offers capacities 128GB、256GB、512GB、1TB using 3D TLC
type flash memories.
