The 480GB KC1000 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD from Kingston uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface and an 8-channel Phison PS5007-E7 controller. It features 4 cores and 2x the DRAM to help power you blaze through even the projects with high-speed data transfers of up to 2700 MB/s.
The KC1000 uses native OS drivers and is NVMe 1.2 compliant which allows you to take advantage of the high throughput, IOPS and low latency that is available to systems that support NVMe. This protocol was designed specifically to support Flash-based storage versus SATA which was developed for traditional spinning disks. It removes performance bottlenecks and allows the system instant access to the device once the SSD is installed.
The SSD is easily installed in either a standard M.2 or PCI Express socket using the M.2 2280.
