KingSpec NX-2TB 2280 2TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 internal SSD

KingSpec NX-2TB 2280 2TB NVMe SSD

The KingSpec NX-2TB 2280 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built for consumers who want faster boot times and quicker application loading in desktops or laptops. It uses 3D NAND flash and the NVMe 1.3 protocol over a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface to deliver sequential reads up to 3500 MBps and writes up to 3200 MBps. The M.2 2280 form factor fits standard NVMe slots without a heatsink.

PCIe 3.0 x4 interface limits peak throughput

The PCI-Express 3.0 x4 link caps maximum sequential transfer rates at roughly 3500 MBps read and 3200 MBps write, which this drive reaches. Random performance reaches up to 380,000 read IOPS and 320,000 write IOPS. The interface also governs power draw, with idle consumption at 0.71W and active consumption at 4.66W. No faster speeds are possible on this bus.

960 TBW endurance rating defines lifespan

The drive carries a terabytes-written rating of 960TB, indicating how much data can be written before wear becomes a concern. Combined with a 1,000,000-hour MTBF figure, this endurance metric is the key specification for deciding whether the SSD suits heavy workloads such as video editing, large databases, or extensive game libraries.
