These 2280 M.2 drives are available in 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB capacities. Memory specialist Kingston has introduced its new A1000 PCIe NVMe SSDs. The new range is available in 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB capacities and they are all single sided PCB 2280 M.2 format sticks. Kingston leverages a PCIe NVMe Gen 3.0 x2 interface, 4-channel Phison E8 controller, and 3D NAND TLC Flash to construct these drives. A headlining claim made by Kingston is that the A1000 PCIe NVMe SSDs will be made available "at near SATA pricing" but deliver almost double the speed of SATA-based rivals.
