Just ordered. It’s $65 total including postage. Not sure for not a prime one.

Hope to see the 2TB came down under a hundred soon.
All these lower end DRAMless SSD's are really dropping in price - I'd love to see a TCL/DRAM based drive for around this price, the cheapest I can find it a 970 Evo Plus for around $96.
(I know there's not a huge difference these days, I just want to chuck something into my dad's laptop as a system drive that I don't need to worry about)
sorry for asking stupid question, what is DRAMless and what it is for? I only know looking for NVMe (not that i know what this for) and PCIe 4.0 are good enough.
Want to know too.
Also other than putting OS in ssd/nvme rather than normal spinning hdd for faster boot time etc, what other use cases for putting stuff in ssd vs hdd?
Want to balance cost and benefit.. if 1TB ssd + hdd is enough or buy higher cap ssd instead..?
In short:
DRAM will let the SSD find and use data faster. Popular for OS drives because they'll just perform everything faster with DRAM than without.
NVMe refers to the form of the drive being the thin stick-looking one that typically plugs directly into a motherboard of a computer. Check your computer's motherboard for compatibility first (that it has NVMe slots).
PCIe refers to the technology used when slotting things into a computer's motherboard (hard drives, GPUs, etc). The number (4.0) refers to the revision of the technology. Like NVMe, the motherboard should be checked for compatibility.
thanks for the explanation. how to know if the ssd has DRAM or no? I cant see from the listing. is there any way to find out?
Nerd moment but m.2 is the form factor, not nvme. There are 2.5/3.5" nvme drives too used in servers (form factor called u.2/u.3).
baby are you down down down
How is this + an NVME USB-C enclosure compared to something like a Samsung T7 as a portable drive?
The main difference will be sustained writes. Samsung T7 has sustained writes around 300MB/s, whereas NV2 has sustained writes closer to 600MB/s. NV2 should be better than the T7 in everything, except maybe power consumption.
Just remember the T7 is a USB3.2 Gen 2 device, so it's USB 10Gbps, keep that in mind when looking for an NVMe enclosure.
When I need one for Telsa to record sentry videos, I tried both options. the nvme enclosure I have is not as stable as Samsung T7 (probably given the heat in car?)
YMMV. I think it could be the issue of the enclosure I used. But T7 works much better in my case.
Does it work on ps5?
No PS5 will want 5,500MB/s or more
Toms hardware rates these as in the bottom of the low tier.
Low tier PCIE nvme ssd > most SATA ssd or any HDD
i am still waiting for 2tb to go down to around 150 so i can upgrade my PS5 storage
3-4 week delivery for an "in stock, shipped from AU" item…
anyone have any bad experience with these 1tb NVMe kingstons?
Just bought a refurb Fujitsu U939X 2-in-1, it comes with a 512GB SSD (assuming M2 because it's an ultrabook) but I assume it'll be the original (Samsung PM981) or a budget POS the seller installed, so I'm going to change it.
Will it support PCIe gen 4 drives or am I limited in some way?
can I use it for external hard disk? What should be the cover?
Shop name in title. Does it include postage?
