The latest SSD to join Klevv's “C” stable of Gen4 drives is the CRAS C925, designed as an upgrade for laptops, Mini PCs and PS5. We put the 2TB version through its paces, priced at $108 in the States, with UK pricing still to be confirmed.
The M.2 2280 CRAS C925 combines a Maxio MAP1602 4-channel DRAM-less controller and 238-Layer 3D TLC NAND. Available in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB (the drive we are looking at here) capacities the drive comes as a bare drive with a separate stick-on aluminium heatsink.
Officially the 2TB CRAS C925 is rated as up to 7,400MB/s and 6,500MB/s for Sequential reads and writes respectively. The 500GB and 1TB drives have the same read rating but with 6,200MB/s and 6,300MB/s respectively write ratings.
The random 4K read performance for the range is quoted up to 670,000 IOPS for the 500GB and 1TB drives with the 2TB drive rated at up to 700,000 IOPS. As for random writes, the 500GB and 1TB drives are rated as up to 980,000 IOPS with the 2TB drive getting a 1M IOPS figure.
The endurance for the 2TB CRAS C925 is 2400TBW, the 1TB drive gets 1200TBW and the 500GB drive 600TBW.
Klevv backs the CRAS C925 with a 5-year warranty.
