KingSpec X500 1TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

This KingSpec X500 drive is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built on the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCI-Express 5.0 interface using the NVMe 2.0 protocol and uses 3D NAND flash with a dedicated DRAM cache. The drive is made for consumer desktops and workstations that need very high sequential throughput.

Ideal for PCIe 5.0 platforms and heavy workloads

The SSD suits systems with Intel Ultra 9 or AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors on motherboards that expose a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot. Its 14,000MB/s read and 13,000MB/s write speeds benefit 4K and 8K video editing, 3D rendering, AI dataset crunching and competitive gaming. Older platforms limited to PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 will not reach these transfer rates, so builders on those chipsets should consider a drive matched to their interface.

14,000MB/s sequential read decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the maximum sequential read speed of 14,000MB/s. If the target motherboard and CPU combination cannot deliver a PCIe 5.0 x4 link, the drive will operate at the lower speed of that link and the extra headroom goes unused. Match the drive to a verified PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to realise the rated performance.

Questions about this item

What sequential read speed does the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface cap at in practice?

The drive reaches up to 14000 MBps sequential read on the PCIe 5.0 x4 link, with NVMe 2.0 protocol overhead already accounted for in that figure.

What physical clearance does the M.2 2280 form factor with graphene copper foil need?

The module measures 22 mm wide, 80 mm long and 2 mm thick; the composite graphene copper foil adds no extra height, so a standard 2280 slot with 2 mm clearance fits it.

How is the drive installed, and which step do builders often miss?

Insert the M.2 2280 card at an angle into the keyed slot, press flat and secure with the motherboard screw; the step often missed is removing any pre-fitted heatsink sticker so the graphene copper foil contacts the board thermal pad.
