About this deal

From my experience, an SSD like the Kingston NV2 1 TB can significantly improve performance compared to a hard drive. Now what we have here is the NV2 which is an update to or rather, a replacement for the NV1. Out with the old, the NV2 has a higher throughput for both read and write along with a native PCIe 4.0 interface. Form factor and choice of capacities remains the same. We got the 2 TB variant here, featuring 3,500 MB/s read and 2,800 MB/s write speeds. Throughput is measured in Megabytes per second (MB/s) at read and write. This is done via AS SSD and its sequential benchmark.

It also offers a great deal of value at a very reasonable price point. At the time of writing, you can find the 2TB NV2 for around the same price as a SATA SSD with the same capacity, or a high-end 1TB drive. Compared to the 2.5″ SATA alternatives, the choice is easy as the Kingston NV2 will run circles around any such drive. Copying the Steam folder for Counter-Strike®: Global Offensive from an external SSD to the system drive.Price and use case scenario dictates why it is such a bland looking product. Now since this is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, I am interested to see the thermals. Test Setup and Methodology The NV2's best performance in the queue depth tests came at QD2 where its result of 2,766MB/s puts it in the top half of the 1TB class consumer drives we've tested to date. As the QD deepens the drive slips down the chart. As an avid gamer with extensive experience building and upgrading gaming PCs, I always prioritize maximizing overall speed. In my experience, using an SSD in a PC, laptop, or gaming console can significantly improve performance. In this article, I discuss the Kingston NV2 1 TB (model SNV2S/ 1000G) and evaluate its impact on gaming and overall SSD performance.

Kingston’s SSD management utility is called SSD Manager, (version v1.5.2.5) at the time of testing the drive) It automatically detects any firmware updates as well as displaying drive status, temperatures and SMART information File copy performance is measured in Seconds (s). This is done via TeraCopy and 16 GB worth of files. Kingston's NV2 drive is available in four capacities; 250GB, 500GB, 1TB (the drive we are reviewing) and the 2TB flagship drive. At the heart of the drive is a Silicon Motion SM2267XT 4-channel controller. It's a DRAM-less design, using Host Memory Buffer technology instead. File copy performance is measured in Seconds (s). This is done via AS SSD and its File Copy benchmark. In comparison to the Sequential read QD results when it comes to Sequential writes, the drive stays firmly on the bottom of the performance graph through all the tested queue depths.

We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. The Kingston NV2 doesn't come with any form of a physical heat sink but there didn't appear to be any throttling issues during our benchmarking of the drive. The hottest the drive got was during runs of the ATTO benchmark where it reached 51° C, below the 70° C maximum operating temperature. Overall the drive averaged 41° C during our testing. Available in capacities from 250GB – 4TB 2 to give you all the space you need for applications, documents, photos, videos and more.

Compared to the budget competitors, the Kingston NV2 does similarly well in CrystalDiskMark. Although there is certainly nothing spectacular about these numbers, we see the NV2 consistently outpacing Gen3 drives as far as sequential read performance goes.Printer File Folder – (166 files – 105 @ .STL, 38 @ .FBX, 11 @ .blend, 5 @ .lwo, 4 @ .OBJ, 3@ .3ds). Kingston rate the Sequential read/write performance of the 1TB NV2 as up to 3,500MB/s and 2,100MB/s respectively. When tested with the ATTO benchmark we got test results that confirmed and even bettered the official write rating at 2,400MB/s. Tested reads came up a little short of the official maximum at 3.180MB/s. However, switching over the CrystalDiskMark 8 benchmark we could confirm both official figures with default test results of 3,672MB/s and 2,621MB/s for read and writes respectively.

Kingston leaves out any mention of random IOPS performance, NAND memory type, and controller. This essentially leaves room for Kingston to revise these details at a later date as long as it stays within the specs they do mention (notably including Gen4 support). Easily integrate into designs with M.2 connectors. Perfect for thin laptops and small-form-factor PCs.

Delivers read/write speeds of up to 3,500/2,800MB/s for an overall faster system. Ideal for systems with limited space. With a read score of 1106 in ASSSD, the 1TB NV2 sits firmly in last place in our results chart. Its write score is significantly faster at 2042. As you can see from the benchmark result screens we were able to confirm Kingston's official figures for the 1TB NV2 of up to 3,500MB/s for reads and up to 2,100MB/s for writes with test results of 3,672MB/s for reads and 2,621MB/s for writes. The goal of the benchmark is to show meaningful real-world performance differences between fast storage technologies such as SATA, NVMe, and Intel’s Optane. The Full System Drive Benchmark uses 23 traces, running 3 passes with each trace. It typically takes an hour to run.
