KINGMAX enthüllt PQ4480 M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD

KINGMAX today unveiled the PQ4480, an interesting “entry-level” M.2 NVMe SSD. While it features a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 Host-Schnittstelle, it doesn’t really utilize that kind of bandwidth, and should offer nearly-identical performance with both PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 M.2 slots. While the company doesn’t mention the controller + NAND flash combination in play, we predict this to be a Phison PS5019-E19T PCIe Gen4 DRAM-less controller, paired with 3D TLC NAND flash memory.

The PQ4480 comes in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, und 1 TB. All three capacity variants offer sequential read speeds of up to 3600 MB / s. Die 250 GB variant writes at up to 1200 MB/s and has 4K random access speeds of up to 150k/300k IOPS reads/writes, die 500 GB variant up to 2300 MB/s with up to 300k/350k IOPS, and the 1 TB variant up to 3000 MB / s, with up to 400k/450k IOPS. Endurance is rated at 150 TBW für die 250 GB-Variante, 300 TBW für die 500 GB-Variante, und 600 TBW für die 1 Kingston NV1 ist eine M.2-NVMe-SSD der Einstiegsklasse, die zu einem äußerst verlockenden Preis von gerade mal 1,50 Euro erhältlich ist.
