Manufacturer description

Kingston's NV1 2TB NVMe SSD is built for people who need real capacity in a drive that fits almost anywhere. The single-sided M.2 2280 (22x80mm) form factor drops into thin notebooks and small form factor PCs where double-sided drives won't clear, and it runs on the PCIe NVMe interface rather than SATA. Kingston rates the NV1 at up to 2,100MB/s read and 1,700MB/s write, which the company positions as 3 to 4 times faster than a SATA SSD and 35 times faster than a traditional spinning hard drive. In practice that shows up as shorter boot times, faster game installs, and quicker project loads…
