The
single-sided M.2 2280 (22mm x 80mm) form factor makes A1000 ideal for notebooks
and systems with limited space. The PCIe NVMe drive features a Gen 3.0 x2 interface, 4-channel Phison
5008 controller, and 3D NAND Flash. It delivers 2x
the performance of SATA SSDs with read/write speeds1 up to 1500MB/s
and 1000MB/s giving it exceptional responsiveness and ultra-low latency.

As
Kingston’s newest SSD for the entry-level PCIe NVMe
market, A1000 is designed
with 3D NAND Flash memory.
It is more reliable and durable than a hard drive, and doubles
the performance of a SATA SSD,
providing consumers the benefit of PCIe performance
at about the same price as SATA.
Consumers can replace a hard drive or slower SSD with
A1000 and have the storage needed for applications, videos, photos and more.
