New super-fast storage solutions are coming to market soon. But not all users can afford these hard drives as they are usually extremely expensive. If you want good value for money, kingston presented the NV2, its new M.2 SSDs interface-based PCIe 4.0.
Although they are not yet available on the market, M.2 SSDs based on the PCIe 5.0 standard are already beginning to see the light of day. These storage drives can deliver speeds of up to 14,000MB/s, which is about double that of PCIe 4.0 drives. The arrival of these units, on the other hand, will allow those based on PCIe Gen4 to come down a lot in price.
Kingston NV2 Cheap M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs Official Announcement
One of the biggest solid state drive manufacturers in the market today is Kingston. This manufacturer offers us different storage solutions depending on the needs. Not only does it offer mid-range and high-end solutions, but it also offers cost-effective drives with optimized performance that are accessible to all users.
The news Kingston NV2 units are cataloged as entry-level solutions. Although they are based on the PCIe 4.0 interface, these drives do not offer particularly high read and write speeds. The good thing about these units is that they come in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB.
These new storage units are compact, with a thickness of only 2.2 mm. Memories, controller and cache are installed on the same side. Although they can be installed in any system, these Kingston drives are particularly intended for laptops and NUC systems. Also note that this device is very light, weighing only 7 grams.
As far as performance is concerned, the units of 250 GB to offer 3000 MB/s read and until 1300 MB/s in writing, with a durability of up to 80 TBW. The 500GB and 1TB drives offer read speeds of up to 3500MB/s and write speeds of up to 2100MB/s. Note that the 500GB unit gives us durability up to 160 TBW and the 1 TB unit up to 320 TBW.
Finally, the storage unit 2TB It gives us a speed of read up to 3500 MB/s and of Write up to 2800MB/s. This unit gives us a durability of up to 640 TBW.
Fairly basic SSD drives
As you can see, these speeds are far from the 7000 MB/s that can be offered by M.2 SSD situated at PCIe 4.0. But, the idea of these units is to offer high quality solutions with very good performance.
Kinston already sells these storage units in its official Amazon store. The unit of 250 GB it has a price of 47 dollarsthat of 500 GB it has a price of 69 dollars And the one of 1TB it only costs 128 dollars. At the moment the 2TB disk is not available, but it should be around 160-200 dollars, depending on the prices we see of other storage units.
Well, those are very reasonably priced for these simple feature storage units. These are very cheap units and you can’t ask for much more, why fool us.
