Good TLC memory with a decent controller and built-in cache, which is quite rare, at least in this price segment Outdated, and, at the moment, you can already find drives for a similar amount with better speeds (however, there is already HMB instead of a physical cache)  Ilya Melnik: use Kingston SA2000M8/1000G more than year |
More than 3 years of stable ACTIVE operation without complaints, BUT when there is 10% free space, the read speed drops to 1900mb/s and the write speed decreases by half, to 1000mb/s. Price (at the time of purchase in 2019), speed, reliability (it has already worked for almost 20 thousand hours!) absolutely nothing  koristuvach іnternetu: use Kingston SA2000M8/500G more than year |
I updated my old PC with a regular sata 3 ssd installed and took this one as my first M2 ssd and for the price / quality it’s quite a normal option. I chose specifically with Silicon Motion (they say they die less often), alas, not all of Kingston come with it. In fact, 465 GB is available. By loading Windows, I didn’t feel any significant increase in speed, it still loads 15-20 seconds from the moment the power button + programs are pressed from autorun. Probably it already a crutch of Windows. In terms of speed, Photoshop and Premier Pro run faster, but this is probably the same because the percentage is new and the RAM is 32gbddr4 with a frequency of 3200, while the old one was ddr316gb1600. That is, subjectively, everything has become a little faster, but this is hardly the merit of ssd alone. I thought that 500 GB would be enough for everything, but still, if you still install games, that place ends quickly, especially when modern games weigh 100 GB each, like Destiny 2. If you already have an m2 ssd similar to this one, then this one is like an upgrade such an option , as the first ssd of this format, I can recommend it in medium and budget builds, since analogues have their own shortcomings, and Kingston has been proven over the years. For myself, I decided that it’s better to take something with speeds from 4000 MB next time, but of course they are already in a different price category. - does not heat up, I have a built-in heatsink on the ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard with it above 40C I did not notice that it would rise - the speed is at the level declared - Silicon Motion controller - 5 years warranty -after switching from a regular sata3 intel ssd with 500MB speed, I did not get the significant increase in speed which I expected - the package includes only the SSD and an activation code for the Acronis software, but the software itself is useless because often, when upgrading the system, not only the SSD is changed but also the processor and motherboard, and in such a case, reinstalling Windows is unavoidable.

Kingston expands
By announcing the new A2000 SSD at CES 2019, Kingston has generated some serious buzz among potential buyers. And all because the eminent brand promised to shake up the market for solid state drives by releasing a high-speed NVMe at the price of a regular SATA SSD. Looking ahead, we note that in the end the price turned out to be slightly higher than promised, but this is still one of the most affordable SSDs on the market, which is capable of providing a read speed of 2000 MB / s. Agree, against the background of 500 MB / s of a standard SSD, this figure is impressive.
Middle class
Another thing is that memory manufacturers sometimes disagree with words and deeds, and potentially successful models turn out to be either much slower, or without SLC caching, or with a frankly low-cost controller. Fortunately, the Kingston A2000 did not disappoint: it is not a champion in terms of linear read and write speed, but it has proven itself well for entry-level and mid-level computers.
Warranty 5 years
The Silicon Motion SM2263ENG controller used is excellent for consumer SSD use cases, as evidenced by excellent PCMark results, which even slightly exceeded the claimed passport specifications and an acceptable level of performance when working with small files. The used 3D TLC NAND memory received a high guaranteed operating life of 150 TB, which backs up the 5-year warranty from the manufacturer. Plus, the drive has a one-sided layout of elements and is not prone to overheating during intensive work.
