Kingston has recently announced a new range of budget NVMe SSDs after its much successful A2000 series of M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs. The new NV1 NVMe SSD from Kingston comes with up to 2 TB capacities & 2100 MB/s read speeds.
It will be available in 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities with a limited 3-year warranty. Now, giving up to theoretical maximum read and write rates of 2100 MB/s and 1700 MB/s, respectively. It is slower compared to 2000 MB/s and 2500 MB/s on the pricier 500 GB A2000 and KC2500, respectively.
This is the reason why it falls in the budget line of NVMe SSDs; however, Kingston has not yet disclosed when and what prices users can expect. You can expect these new SSDs to hit the market soon, and we will be updating the article with buying link once it’s available to order.
