It’s got a much faster Read/Write than SATA SSD’s, and it’s Kingston so despite being so cheap it’s a reputable brand and so far I definitely have not been disappointed.
Works perfectly and I find Kingston to be a trusted and reliable brand
It would have been nice if they supplied the 1 tiny screw that you need to install the drive though
Works well for the PS5 but when it’s installed it says its slower and won’t be as fast as the default one that’s already inside but since using it I have not noticed the difference in speed
This is a decent M.2, I got this because a crucial P3 drive failed on me, Needed one asap coz warranty would take a while, Don’t be fooled by the price of this Kingston M.2 drive, It still loads and performs as good as the Crucial P3 I hate to say, lol, Think they different in a few ways though, I would definitely get another Kingston M.2 so that says enough for me, lol, Yeah this is a decent M.2 people….
I bought this SSD to replace my old HDD and I’m very happy with it. It was very easy to install, I just plugged it in on my motherboard and it was ready to go. No need for any cables. I tested it with h2testw and it showed that it was a genuine device with no errors or bad sectors. The speed is amazing, it is much faster than my old HDD. I would highly recommend it.
Bought to replace a DOA Crucial one. Should have bought it in the first place. Easy to set up on a brand new build using GPT on a UEFI motherboard.
This m.2 is fantastic and cheap. I originally got it for 50 and it was good. I speed tested it and had no regrets. I’ve since installed one in my backup pc, my nephews and my dads. Then I saw it for 35! (how is it so cheap!).
You won’t regret buying this.
It’s cheap, boots quick and I chose 1TB of storage which is more then enough for me.
Normal use case scenarios it’s very good but does show it’s cheap side when doing more intensive tasks.
Coming across a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 1TB for under 50 would normally have me thinking “What’s wrong with it?”. But this is Kingston, and I have never had an issue with Kingston products… this has not disappointed.
It’s fast, reliable, and has been running as my O/S and core system drive for a couple of months now. I’ve also fitted one in my housemate’s PS5 and he’s had no issues installing and running games from it.
Definitely recommend.
Just the thing to upgrade my PC. I wanted the speed of SSD, but did not want to compromise on storage. I have cloud backup, but like to store my files locally too, ensuring I have everything accessible in the event of provider failure.
My PC did not have a direct M.2 slot, but I bought an adapter to install in a spare PCI Express port, and this overcame the problem.
I now have fast boot times, and plenty of space for everything I’m ever likely to store.
I trust Kingston as a brand, and purchased from Amazon themselves, rather than the general marketplace, as I know there are bogus drives about. There was a good deal on, and I am happy with the outcome.
I couldn’t actually believe the price of this nvme. Much needed upgrade, it’s not the fastest, but fast enough for decent productivity and a trusted brand to say the least. Easy installation! Although may differ from your laptop or motherboard manufacturers, but I’m sure you will find it a doddle, great product, worth looking into!
I’m not sure why the compact design of this SSD is boasted so much – all SSDs of this size are compact and work perfectly in any compatible PC or laptop.
My only negative is that it doesn’t come with a heat sink but you can pick these up quite cheaply and you will have to add it yourself (pretty easy to do, watch youtube vid)
Overall, the Kingston NV2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD is a top-quality storage device that offers exceptional performance, reliability, and compatibility. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-performance storage solution for their computer, and it is well worth the investment.
Cheapest on the market for gen 4 (at time of this review) I’ve been using this for 3 months with no issues.
When the 1TB version dropped to just under 44, my plan to have another 2TB of fast storage/scratch drives became a reality within my budget.
The screenshots below show single drive performance versus a pair of these in RAID0. Lifetime should be very good in this configuration as each drive only receives half of the data as writes, effectively adding the TBW of both drives together.
Performance in RAID0 is very close to that of my 500GB Crucial P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 OS drive, so large file transfers between the two are incredibly fast.
Definitely a bargain when on special offer. Grab one (or two)!
This was easy to install, well packaged (which I was worried about considering how fragile these are) and after running tests this is the exact speeds mentioned, unlike other brands that exaggerate the read / write speeds. Would highly recommend
Put this as boot/system drive in an Acer Aspire XC-885 and the boot time is amazingly fast 3-4secs ..
The OS is soo much more responsive, the PC is running at the same speed obv’ but feels soo much snappier ..
Much faster than a SATA SSD ..!
Anywho just ordered myself a 1TB and PCI-E adaptor for my old i5 system ..
The drive is also very reliable in 10gb nvme enclosures, I’m using it this way for the iPad pro and so far, so good with zero file corruptions or issues.
An absolute bargain!!
PS5 complained it wasn’t fast enough when I installed it but let me use it anyway.
Horizon Forbidden West, Doom Eternal and Borderlands 3 tested so far with no issues in performance or loading speed.
PS4 games are just fine on it as they don’t require the super-fast storage Gen4 NVME can go up to.
