Kingston A1000 M.2 SA1000M8/240G 240 GB
Videos 11Photos 4 | Outdated Product High-performance internal 240 GB SSD with a high-speed M.2 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. It is positioned as a mid-range product designed for personal computers, mini-PCs and HTPC systems. The hardware basis of this model is a powerful 4-channel Phison PS5008-E8 controller with a DRAM buffer based on DDR3L memory. Toshiba's 64-layer BiCS3 3D TLC NAND flash memory exhibits improved wear resistance and moderate power consumption. Like all current drives with TLC and QLC memory, it supports high-speed SLC write caching with a buffer size of up to 8 GB. This is quite enough for the vast majority of scenarios of typical domestic and professional use. The Kingston A1000 M.2 SA1000M8/240G SSD is designed to work with motherboards equipped with an M.2 slot supporting the PCI-E 3.0 2x inte...rface and shows impressive read/write speeds of up to 1500/800 Mbps. This is enough for impressively fast loading of the operating system, browsers with many open windows, resource-intensive applications and actual games. The manufacturer declares a recording resource of 150 TB. This allows you to record about 20 GB of data daily for 10 years, which is more than enough for the vast majority of tasks. |

Cheap speed
The Kingston A1000 is an interesting solid state drive that sits right between regular SSDs and high-end NVMe drives that take full advantage of the speed of the PCI-E bus. From the first he got an affordable price, from the second — the ability to drive at maximum speed.
Up to 1500 and 800 Mbps read and write
The new line at the start includes three models of the most popular volumes: 240 GB, 480 GB and 960 GB. The optimal ratio of price and quality in the line has a 240 GB drive. Its sequential read and write rates are 1500 and 800 Mbps, respectively.
Smart SLC caching support
The Kingston A1000 is being built based on the Phison E8 quad-channel controller and 3D TLC NAND memory. The drive does not have its own RAM cache, so it borrows several hundred megabytes from the system-wide RAM. Traditionally for TLC memory, a smart SLC caching mechanism is implemented: until the disk is two-thirds full, the write speed will be high, after which it will decrease several times.
No overheating and five-year warranty
By the standards of high-speed expensive M.2 PCI-E, the performance of the A1000 is not a record, but compared to the best SATA SSDs, the performance of the new Kingston models looks very decent. Separately, it is worth noting that the drive from Kingston has no problems with overheating of the controller even under heavy load, and therefore does an excellent job without additional cooling. A five year warranty is included.
License for Acronis True Image HD as a gift
As a small bonus, it is worth noting a gift license for the Acronis True Image HD utility, which allows you to clone a system partition, avoiding a lengthy reinstallation of the OS and related software.
