Kingston NV1 NVMe PCIe SSD 500GB M.2 2280 - SNVS/500G

Product Information

I'm only buying from main manufacturers (WD, Samsung, Micron, Kioxia), they also have been caught doing the same BS but have been more reliable than the rest at least (Samsung for example, in the recent 970 Evo debacle was a single change and kind of a toss up in performance other than niche cases, Adata/Kingston have basically changed the entire product, that should be illegal!) The Kingston NV1 uses DRAMless SSD controllers like the Phison E13T and Silicon Motion SM2263XT, which are both getting a bit old but are still sufficient to offer a step up from SATA performance. The NAND will tend to be TLC on the smaller capacities and QLC for at least the 2TB model, but realistically Kingston could use either type of NAND on any of the capacities depending on market conditions. Multiple Capacities2: Available in a range of capacities up to 2TB to meet your data storage requirements.

In 2020, Kingston shipped over 20M SSDs globally, according to analyst firm Forward Insights. As one of the largest SSD suppliers in the world, Kingston also added an mSATA version of the KC600 SSD to support older laptop upgrades. The recent launches further show Kingston’s commitment to creating the industry’s most thoroughly tested and complete range of SSD solutions, for first-time users to prosumers to data center customers.

On the other hand, when it comes to random performance, which significantly affects day-to-day tasks and gaming experiences, both SSDs showcase a near-identical performance.Analyzing the TBW values, it is evident that the A2000 generally offers a higher endurance across comparable storage capacities, indicating a longer lifespan for writing data onto the SSD. This suggests that for users with high data writing needs, the A2000 might be the more robust option.

Kingston SSD firmware updates are provided via Kingston’s SSD Manager (KSM) application. If a firmware update is applicable or available for your product, KSM will indicate this, and the firmware release notes related to the update will be displayed within the application interface. This workaround requires BIOS options to enable or disable RST Control and is not available on all systems The random performance is almost the same in both drives. In other words, you will not be able to see big differences in the day-to-day tasks. Even when playing games, the performance is going to be similar. PCMark 8 Storage 2.0 Score The SSD is designed for use in desktop and notebook computer workloads and is not intended for Server environments. Issue the format command to the drive. Here we set the secure erase setting to 1 which indicates a user data erase:Kingston is pleased to announce the next entry-level offering in its NVMe PCIe SSD product family to meet the needs of new and existing users,” said Keith Schimmenti, SSD business manager, Kingston. “Whether users are upgrading a system or planning a new build, NV1 is designed for speed and dependability at an affordable price.”
