The editors didn't like

  • Random performance could be higher
  • Too expensive. The 480 GB A1000 is only $25 cheaper – or about 10% less expensive – than Kingston's top NVMe drive which is significantly faster
  • This has been quite an enjoyable exploration comparing our other six drives with the Kingston A1000 480 GB SS
  • Writespecific performance lower than midtohigh performance M.2 variants
  • Product label should be in the other side of the PCB for the desktop system's M.2 heatspreaders to have direct contact
  • Thermal Throttling
  • None
  • This has been quite an enjoyable exploration comparing our other three drives with the T-FORCE Vulcan 500GB SSD.  The performance of this drive is very good as a stand-alone SATA-based SSD
  • Eval(ez_write_tag([[300
  • 250]
  • 'babeltechreviews_com-medrecta
  • Limited to two PCI Express lanes
  • Beat in benchmarks by lower-priced competition
  • Feature-light software management tool
  • Only PCIe x2 and a slow performer for NVMe
  • The same price as much faster competition at the time of this review
  • Small SLC write cache of only 4 GB
  • Not as fast as higher-end NVMe drives
  • PCIe x2 interface limits read speeds slightly

  • Overall performance, 5-year warranty
  • At the time of writing, there is no Kingston SSD Manager support for the drive
  • Having previously reviewed the DCP1000, a monster of a drive aimed squarely at the enterprise market segment, it has been quite interesting to review the new A1000 as it is aimed at the entry/value part of the market.In terms of performance, Kingston quot...

  • Better than SATA performance, Compatibility through single-sided M.2 2280 module, Cloning software included, Low price for an NVMe solution,

  • Pricing and AvailabilityAt the time of this review, Kingston's A1000 480GB M.2 NVMe drive can be yours for £153.33 or $189.99 through Amazon. The larger 960GB version will cost you £298.20 while the smaller 240GB will set you back £87.34. That is not a lo...

  • Interesting performance for its price, Very affordable, even when compared to SATA SSDs, Acronis True Image HD activation key included in the box further amps up the value
  • 4K speeds is still behind some SATA drives
  • This is the best value for money SSD we have seen, a PCIe NVMe SSD that is cheaper than SATA drives yet outperforms them easily...

  • Gran calidad de Fabricación, Fantástico rendimiento en lectura y escritura, Software de Clona Incluido, Silencio Absoluto, vibración nula y poco calentamiento, 5 Años de Garantía, Memoria localizada en usa sóla cara, Incluye Cache,
  • Sería perfecta si contara con distintos tamaños físicos,
  • Desde la aparición del formato M.2 y más concretamente de su versión PCIe, los SSD conectados por SATA a equipos domésticos/profesionales van a ir desapareciendo. Existe un formato U.2 que sustituirá al SATA, pero creo que su adopción en el ámbito domésti...

  • Velocidad, Precio, Temepratura

  • El Kingston A1000 es un dispositivo que alcanza tasas de lectura de hasta 1500 MB/s junto a unas de escritura de 1000MB/s. A pesar de que este ya es un punto de los más interesante de por sí, hay que sumarle el buen precio que tiene en el mercado y la con...
