Kingston NV2 SNV2S/1000G 1 TB

The second generation of Kingston's popular consumer M.2 SSD. Relating to the M.2-2280 form factor, it weighs only 7 grams and consumes just under 2.5 watts of electricity. Suitable for installation in most modern PCs, laptops and ultrabooks equipped with an M.2 Key-M slot. It is an extremely successful sequel to the popular Kingston NV1 drive, in which the company's engineers successfully fixed almost all the flaws.

In particular, they replaced the problematic Phison PS5013-E13-31 controller, which periodically suffered from heating, due to which the average temperature of the drive during intensive work rarely exceeds 65 ° C. This decision made it possible to abandon the external radiator, slightly reducing the price of the device. After that, support for the PCI-E 4.0 data exchange interface was added to the drive, which favorably affected the speed performance of the device: the linear read speed reaches 3500 MB / s, while files are written inside the drive at a speed of 2100 MB / s.

Plus, the manufacturer gives a 3-year warranty, backed by a serious time between failures (TBW) of 160 TB. It is also important to note that the Kingston NV2 SNV2S costs a couple of dollars more than the average price tag of most low-cost SATA3 SSDs, making it an equally promising option for entry-level and mid-range gaming PCs, home multimedia PCs, low-cost workstations or modern laptops.
