Someone needs to bring up a standard spec for companies to meet, this bait and switch is bullshit! I'd hoped the PS5 using a standard m.2 and "requiring" a minimum speed would help solve this but doesn't seem like it. This benchmark features a dedicated SSD benchmark which measures disk transfer rate as well as IO speed. The benchmark serves to compliment the other sequential tests in this review to show consistency. Nov 13th 2023 Lenovo Announces the ThinkStation P8 Powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series and NVIDIA RTX Graphics (14) KINGSTON DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE FIRMWARE OR FIRMWARE UPDATES WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR ERROR-FREE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION, TEXT, GRAPHICS, LINKS OR OTHER ITEMS CONTAINED WITHIN THE FIRMWARE.

Multiple Capacities: Available in a range of capacities up to 2TB to meet your data storage requirements. Analyzing the TBW values, it is evident that the A2000 generally offers a higher endurance across comparable storage capacities, indicating a longer lifespan for writing data onto the SSD. This suggests that for users with high data writing needs, the A2000 might be the more robust option.

This workaround requires BIOS options to enable or disable RST Control and is not available on all systems

The PCMark test imitates our day-to-day tasks like working with files, opening software, saving data, using the internet, etc. There is no big difference in the performance of these both. However, you can see the A2000 winning by small margins. So, this result is surely in the favor of A2000. Anvil Storage Utilities (1GB) Based on “out-of-box performance” using a PCIe 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, and usage. Kingston SSD firmware updates are provided via Kingston’s SSD Manager (KSM) application. If a firmware update is applicable or available for your product, KSM will indicate this, and the firmware release notes related to the update will be displayed within the application interface. Weather – Electrical storms can increase the ESD risk; unless absolutely necessary, try not to work on a computer during an electrical storm. In very dry areas, the air itself becomes a part of the electrostatic build-up mechanism every time there is an air flow (wind, air conditioning, blower) passing over an insulated surface. Do not let high humidity levels build false confidence, and beware of corrosion problems with interconnects and other electrical interfaces. Multiple Capacities 2: Available in a range of capacities up to 2TB to meet your data storage requirements.Put the system to sleep (suspend to RAM) and wake it up. On most distributions the command to suspend is: # systemctl suspend Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide. Ideal for systems with limited space: Easily integrate into designs with M.2 connectors. Perfect for thin laptops and small form factor PCs. We generally determine the life expectancy of an SSD with its TBW (Tera-Bytes Written) limit. You can learn more about it here. Parameter I'm only buying from main manufacturers (WD, Samsung, Micron, Kioxia), they also have been caught doing the same BS but have been more reliable than the rest at least (Samsung for example, in the recent 970 Evo debacle was a single change and kind of a toss up in performance other than niche cases, Adata/Kingston have basically changed the entire product, that should be illegal!)
