Klevv CRAS C925 2TB SSD Review


The Klevv CRAS C925 ships in a compact box with a clear image of the drive in the centre. Above this image, in the top right-hand corner, is a sticker which holds the drive's capacity (2TB) and maximum Sequential read speed (7,400MB/s). Under this we find two more icons for the attachable heatsink and the fact that the drive works with PS5. Below the drive's image is a row of five icons for; 3D NAND, NVMe 1.4, SLC Caching, Backup software and limited warranty.

The rear of the box has a detailed feature list under which is a multi-lingual statement about transmission speed, stable performance and what the drive is good for. Under this is a performance table for all three drives in the range displaying Sequential read/write speeds.

 
Inside the box is a plastic tray which holds the CRAS C925 and the stick-on full-width aluminium heatsink

 
The 2TB CRAS C925 is built on a single-sided M.2 2280 format.


The 2TB CRAS C925 uses a Maxio MAP1602 4-channel controller. A DRAM-less design, the MAP1602 has a very small footprint with just a 7.1mm x 11mm package. Built on a 12nm TSMC process with ARM Cortex-R5 architecture, the MAP1602 supports up to 4TB of 2D MLC/TLC or 3D MLC/TLC/QLC with an interface speed of up to 2400MT/s which is faster than some of its DRAM-less competitors. Performance-wise the controller supports speeds of up to 7,400MB/s and 6,500MB/s for Sequential reads and writes respectively with a 1,000K IOPS maximum for both random reads and writes. MAXIO Agile ECC 3 Technology provides error correction and the drive also supports AES 256-bit encryption.

For the 2TB CRAS C925 Klevv has matched the controller with two packages of  Essencore ENFGGP8NC4AR-HR (rebranded SK Hynix) 238-Layer 3D TLC NAND.
