• Not to be confused with the internal SSD: Be careful not to mix up the portable version with the internal 
  KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G2 NVMe SSD
  , which is an M.2 2280 drive with faster PCIe Gen 3 speeds. The portable model uses an NVMe drive inside, but the speed is limited by the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface.
• Speed is dependent on port: The maximum speed of 1,050 MB/s is only achievable when connected to a host device that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. Using a legacy USB-A port will result in lower speeds.
• Driver for full speed: To achieve the best performance, KIOXIA recommends installing and updating the latest version of their SSD Utility management software.
• No IP rating: The enclosure is shock-resistant but not waterproof or dustproof.
