Amazing upgrade from my SATA SSD!
on October 12, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It just upgraded the Steam library drive in my gaming machine from an older SATA SSD to a 250 GB NV2 NVMe M.2 drive and am just blown away by how much this single upgrade has decreased load times. I knew that NVMe SSDs were faster than SATA, but I had no idea how much the lack of PCIe was holding me back! This little M.2 drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface on my Asus ROG G550F motherboard and I've paired it up with my Ryzen 5800X CPU. I ran CrystalDiskMark on it and was shocked to see sequential read at roughly 6.5 GB/s and sequential write at roughly 2.9 GB/s! This is well over the 3.5 GB/s read and 2.1 GB/s write quoted by Kingston. I'm a little concerned about the overall write endurance of the drive: My 250 GB model is rated at 80 TBW. However, since I use this as my Steam library drive, most of my workloads are "write once, read many", so I don't think I'll ever get anywhere close to the endurance rating. Overall, I'm very happy with this drive and wish I would have upgraded my system sooner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great SSD- exactly what i needed for replacement for my hardware. Fit seamlessly, was a good value and price and feels like great quality. Was completely interchangeable and easy DIY upgrade on my end. Would recommend this brand product to anyone looking for this exact unit for an upgrade or replacement part

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed this on my gaming laptop because I needed more space. It was a quick and easy installation. The difference was noticeable immediately and boot time was phenomenal. The responsiveness of loading games was so much faster than my old ssd. I will definitely use this product again in the future

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s absolutely amazing how low the power and heat this device requires to my optimize system’s performance! It delivers value without sacrifice. The compact single-sided design expands storage up to 2TB2 while saving space for all of my other components and was ideal for my notebook. It’s the perfect size without the bulk!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for a better alternative to my solid state that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. This was a great addition to get my main drive some faster speeds. I’ve used SSD’s in the past but never one that plugged directly into the motherboard like this one. Seems to have plenty of place and plenty of

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for a SSD when I stumbled across this. The memory on it is just enough for what I need it for and it was put into my computer with no problem. Fits just right and the speed is alright. If you need something that doesn’t have much memory this is highly recommended. This is pretty high performance and does its job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Kingston NV2 SSD. It was extremely easy to install and I immediately noticed by lap top speed increase due to being able expand my computers storge capability. The SSD has definitely increased by storage capacity, which in turn has allowed my Gaming PC to perform at a optimal level. I would definitely recommend this SSD if you are looking to optimize your PC.
