NV1 NVMe PCIe SSD
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE FOR THINNER NOTEBOOKS AND SYSTEMS

Kingston’s NV1 NVMe™ PCIe SSD is a substantial storage solution that offers read/write1 speeds up to 2,100/1,700MB/s, which is 3 to 4 times faster than a SATA-based SSD, and 35 times faster than a traditional hard drive. NV1 works with lower power, lower heat, and quicker loading time. The efficient performance and single-sided M.2 2280 (22x80mm) design makes NV1 ideal for thin notebooks and systems with limited space.

Available in capacities from 250GB – 2TB2 to give you all the space you need for applications, documents, photos, videos, and more.

WHAT IS NVME SSD TECHNOLOGY?
THE BENEFITS OF NVME

NVMe technology provides superior storage, superior speed and superior compatibility. Because NVMe utilizes PCIe sockets, it transfers 25x more data than the SATA equivalent. Along with more data, NVMe’s commands are 2x faster than that of AHCI drivers. In addition, NVMe input/output operations per second (IOPS) exceeds 1 million and is up to 900% faster compared to AHCI drives. NVMe also communicates directly with the system CPU giving it incredible speeds due to its compatibility. NVMe drives work with all major operating systems regardless of form factor.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a communications interface and driver that takes advantage of the increased bandwidth PCIe has to offer. It’s designed to increase performance and efficiency while making a broad range of enterprise and client systems interoperable. NVMe was designed for SSDs and communicates between the storage interface and the system’s CPU using high-speed PCIe sockets without the limitations of form factor.

The NVMe protocol utilizes parallel, low-latency data paths to the underlying media like high performance processor architectures. This offers significantly higher performance and lower latencies compared to SAS and SATA protocols. NVMe can support multiple I/O queues, up to 64K with each queue having 64K entries. This allows input/output tasks to transfer more data faster than older storage models using legacy drivers such as AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). Because NVMe is designed specifically for SSDs, it will eventually become the new industry standard.

NVME SSDs FOR CLIENT SYSTEMS

NVMe SSDs in client systems, such as desktops, laptops or workstations greatly improve overall performance with faster speeds and a simpler form factor designed with efficient flash NAND technology. In general, SSDs have faster read and write speeds than traditional spinning disk drives but they gain even greater read and write speeds when using a NVMe interface. Most SATA SSDs have read speeds of around 500MB/s while high-end NVMe SSDs are capable of around 7,000MB/s.

NVMe is leading the new standard of SSDs and Kingston’s NVMe SSDs are designed to provide a range of storage solutions that are a great choice for new PC builds, laptops/notebooks and storage system upgrades. Improved systems and PC performance also mean better performance in software and applications such as 3D rendering, gaming and content creation.

THE BENEFITS OF NVME IN ENTERPRISE
WHY NVME MATTERS IN THE DATA CENTER

Storage protocols are improving as organizations invest in the ongoing digital transformation that is happening in the data-heavy enterprise environment. Until now, SATA (supports SSD and spinning disk hard drives) was the dominant protocol but with the rise of non-volatile memory express, the gears are shifting towards a new kind of technology.

Known as NVMe, the new storage protocol empowers data centers and enterprise environments to fully take advantage of high-performance flash memory. Because the SATA interface was built for hard drives, it has many inefficiencies when paired with flash memory based SSDs. While the SATA protocol is available in both SSDs and HDDs, NVMe is particularly designed for SSDs. As a result, the difference in performance between SATA and NVMe is impressive.

Fig. 1 above shows IOPS and bandwidth differences in SATA and NVMe

SATA III boasts speeds up to 600MB/s but is unable to sustain this kind of performance consistently. SATA based SSDs are proficient for some data center workloads since there are many legacy servers in the field that only support SATA/SAS SSDs, but they will eventually be limited and capped in their performance.

By enabling numerous I/O operations at the same time, NVMe makes possible the multicore processing necessary for organizations to compete in efficiently accessing, manipulating and processing data in enterprise environments. This Quality of Service (QoS) is what provides an exceptional balance of consistent I/O delivery with high read and write IOPS performance to manage a wide range of workloads.
