Update: Kioxia is not planning to release a consumer version of their M.2 2230 BG4 SSD (remains B2B only)
Post Body

Some people here might have seen my comments that Toshiba/Kioxia plans to release a consumer version of the BG4 in Q4 2019 which is what this review claims:

This review was back in September and I've asked in the forum for an update (because we are already in Q4 2019).

Here is the update:

Translation:

"I can now provide an official anwer: a retail-version of BG4 is not planned by Kioxia, instead [BG4] remains a B2B-product only."

Unless you are lucky to find someone on Ebay selling BG4, Western Digital/SanDisk SN520 will remain the best and - depending on your country - only option to upgrade the SSD in the foreseeable future.
