Kingston NV2 1TB SSD Review

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.

The read result of 67.29MB/s from CrystalDiskMark 8's 4K QD1 test sees the NV2 in the bottom half of our results chart. Its write score of 211.81MB/s is much stronger though.

As you can see from the benchmark result screens we were able to confirm Kingston's official figures for the 1TB NV2 of up to 3,500MB/s for reads and up to 2,100MB/s for writes with test results of 3,672MB/s for reads and 2,621MB/s for writes.

Even though our test results bettered the official maximum Sequential figures the drive sits in last place in our results chart.

Using the Peak Performance profile in CrystalDiskMark 8 we could once again confirm the maximum official figures with the best read/write results of 3,668MB/s and 2,581MB/s respectively.

Kingston hasn't disclosed any official 4K random figures for the drive. The best results we saw came from a mix of data types. The best-read figure we saw, 201,561 IOPS came with the drive being tested with compressible data while the best write score of 401,239 IOPS came when the drive was dealing with incompressible data.

Using the Real World profile, the best Sequential read figure we saw was 2,994MB/s, some way short of the official maximum speed for the drive of 3,500MB/s. However, the best write result of 2,586MB/s bettered the official figure by some 486MB/s.
