We did some digging, and are drawn to the origins of the NV1. Launched in March 2021, the drive adopts a strategy by Kingston to only advertise the performance and endurance numbers that are possible with any drive hardware combination. An AnandTech article from the time references how the drive, much like the A400 SATA SSD, comes in a number of controller+flash combinations. These include the SMI SM2263XT, or Phison E13T; and NAND that's either TLC or QLC. This uncertainty in hardware specs means that when you to go shop for an NV1, you can only expect the worst (i.e. QLC flash).

This benchmark features a dedicated SSD benchmark which measures disk transfer rate as well as IO speed. The benchmark serves to compliment the other sequential tests in this review to show consistency. Nov 13th 2023 Lenovo Announces the ThinkStation P8 Powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series and NVIDIA RTX Graphics (14) Sep 11th 2023 Kingston IronKey Extends Mobile Data Protection with Flagship Military-Grade D500S (0) KINGSTON DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE FIRMWARE OR FIRMWARE UPDATES WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR ERROR-FREE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION, TEXT, GRAPHICS, LINKS OR OTHER ITEMS CONTAINED WITHIN THE FIRMWARE.Multiple Capacities 2: Available in a range of capacities up to 2TB to meet your data storage requirements. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.

The Kingston NV1 1TB is a single-sided M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD. It features Kingston’s own-brand FH25608UCN1-40 similar to their other budget SSDs of this capacity. The controller is a Phison E13T. As a single-sided M.2-2280 drive, if you have an ultra slim application like a laptop, this should work well with that. Kingston NV1 1TB Review – Installed In conclusion, while both SSDs exhibit strong reliability metrics, the A2000 appears to have a slight edge in terms of endurance and warranty, making it a potentially more durable option for users seeking a long-lasting SSD solution. Tech Specs Comparison Feature Issue the format command to the drive. Here we set the secure erase setting to 1 which indicates a user data erase: 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.CrystalDIskMark has been the most actively updated disk benchmark amongst all the ones we use and is effectively the most reliable. Unfortunately, version to version results are not comparable which limits the ability to extrapolate comparative data. Still its a reliable and direct benchmark. Like the previous, it allows control over test data pattern, the test data size, amount of passes and individual benchmark control. 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 a 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.

We generally determine the life expectancy of an SSD with its TBW (Tera-Bytes Written) limit. You can learn more about it here. Parameter The PCMark test imitates our day-to-day tasks like working with files, opening software, saving data, using the internet, etc. There is no big difference in the performance of these both. However, you can see the A2000 winning by small margins. So, this result is surely in the favor of A2000. Anvil Storage Utilities (1GB)

Put the system to sleep (suspend to RAM) and wake it up. On most distributions the command to suspend is: # systemctl suspend In 2020, Kingston shipped over 20M SSDs globally, according to analyst firm Forward Insights.

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. For more information visit kingston.com. When we turn our attention to the warranty period, the A2000 again pulls ahead, offering a longer warranty period (5 years) compared to the NV1 (3 years), which showcases Kingston’s confidence in the A2000’s longevity and reliability. This workaround is to change your system storage mode from RAID to AHCI and should work on all systems.Lastly, looking at the MTBF, both SSDs stand on equal ground, promising a high level of reliability with an impressive number of hours, showcasing their potential for a long lifespan under normal operating conditions.
