What Is XFMEXPRESS?
At this years Flash Memory Summit (FMS), Toshiba showcased a new SSD form factor XFMEXPRESS.
It is small enough to be considered as a removable alternative to soldered-down BGA SSDs.
XFMEXPRESS SSD form factor allows for 2 or 4 lanes.
At the same time, the size of it is much smaller than the M.2 22x30mm card.
The footprint of XFMEXPRESS SSD form factor can reach up to 22.217.752.2mm because it mounts into a latching socket.
Phison Electronics showcases its next-generation product Phison PS5013-E13T 1113 BGA SSD at FMS.

This offers a convenient way to upgrade the equipment capacities after-sale.
For embedded devices that need to be maintained, this can permit even smaller overall dimensions.
It is also good news for unit manufacturers.
Unlike the SD cards, XFMEXPRESS is not intended to be severed as an externally-accessible slot.
you oughta open up the case of the gear that installs the SSD to swap out an XFMEXPRESS SSD.
Different from the M.2 SSD, the XFMEXPRESS socket and retention mechanism itself is tool-less.
you’re able to see that the whole design of XFMEXPRESS is much more convenient.
The general bottleneck of it is not the PCIe x4 host interface.
Another truth is that SSDs with these small form factors are usually thermally limited.
That is, the current SSD form factors are bothered by heat dissipation problems.
Perhaps, it will be released to the public in the near future.
