Kingston has released a new entry-level PCIe 4.0 series of NV2 series with master control upgrades. While the NV1 series has been criticized for its mediocre specs compared to models like the A2000, the company still seems to have fairly high confidence in its brand appeal in the consumer market.
It is reported that the Kingston NV2 series adopts the standard M.2 2280 form factor. Although it may not be able to fully utilize the theoretical bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 x4, the sequential read and write performance of 3000 and 1300 MB/s can still meet the needs of ordinary consumers. In terms of capacity, the NV2 series provides 250GB / 500GB / 1TB / 2TB four gears, with nominal write endurance of 80 / 160 / 320 / 640 TBW, but the company did not disclose the exact master + NAND flash memory combination.
