Not a bad M.2!
Not a bad product. Has worked great since installing it. Super easy installation. Not bad as far as write speed. The quality so far is great! The heat level I can’t tell to be honest. My laptop generally gets hot as it is, so I cannot tell if it is causing any added heat or not. The speed is average. Great for the price. I would definitely purchase this again as long as the current one continues to perform.

Works Great and Easy to use
Great value works good and easy to use. The pricing was fair and the material used is good quality and durable. Very easy to install.

Fast, Reliable, and Great Value for the Price
Installed this SSD in a mini PC and it performs much better than expected. Boot times dropped to just a few seconds, and file transfers are quick and consistent. It runs cool, even under load, and installation was simple. Excellent upgrade option if you want affordable NVMe speed.

Great cheaper nvme
No issues, fast enough, good fitment, easy install. No excessive heat
Gino Lee –
awesome! no issues
Used this to replace a failing SSD drive on my computer. Seems to work well and, on linux, I can use a program called smartctl to show this ssd drive’s statistics, especially the “Percentage Used” feature, which shows how much of the drive’s lifespan was used so far.

solid value drive
I recently picked up a KingSpec NVMe SSD for a new PC build, primarily looking for a cost-effective way to get into the NVMe game without breaking the bank. After getting it installed and running for a few weeks, I’m pleasantly surprised by its performance and value.Installation & Initial Thoughts (5/5):Installation was straightforward, as expected with any M.2 NVMe drive. It snapped right into my motherboard’s slot, and Windows recognized it instantly. The drive itself feels well-built, though it’s fairly barebones (no fancy heatsink included, which is typical for this price point).Performance (4/5):For everyday use, this drive is blazing fast. Boot times are almost instantaneous, applications launch in a blink, and file transfers (especially for large files) are significantly quicker than any SATA SSD I’ve used. While it might not hit the absolute bleeding-edge speeds of premium NVMe drives from top-tier brands, for its price, it offers exceptional performance. I ran some basic benchmarks, and it consistently delivered read/write speeds that are more than adequate for gaming, content creation, and general productivity. For the average user, the difference between this and a much more expensive drive would be imperceptible in real-world scenarios.Value for Money (5/5):This is where the KingSpec NVMe truly shines. You get impressive NVMe speeds without the premium price tag. If you’re building on a budget or just want to upgrade an older system to NVMe without overspending, this drive offers fantastic bang for your buck.Overall Impression:The KingSpec NVMe SSD is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-speed storage solution that won’t empty their wallet. It offers a significant performance upgrade over traditional SATA SSDs and HDDs, making your system feel incredibly snappy. While it might not win any benchmark records against top-tier competitors, its real-world performance for the price is tough to beat.Pros:Excellent value for NVMe performance.Significantly faster than SATA SSDs.Easy installation.Reliable for everyday use, gaming, and general productivity.Cons:Performance may not match premium NVMe drives (but neither does the price).No included heatsink (consider adding one for sustained heavy loads).If you’re looking for an affordable entry into the world of NVMe, the KingSpec is a solid, reliable performer.

Cheap price point
Product was packaged well and I’ve already installed and downloaded Linux mint onto for one of my older laptops and works very well.

I ordered this Kingspec NVMe Gen 3×4 SSD (up to 2400MB/s read), and overall I’m pleased with how well it performs. I wasn’t able to test it internally on my laptop since it only has one NVMe slot, but I did install it in a USB enclosure capable of 10Gbps speeds.Using CrystalDiskMark, the drive reached the maximum the controller could handle:Read: 1081.48 MB/sWrite: 1095.51 MB/sThat’s pretty impressive considering the enclosure bottleneck.I also installed it in my Raspberry Pi 5, and the system now boots up in about 14–15 seconds—a huge upgrade from using a microSD card. Definitely a noticeable improvement in speed and responsiveness.To verify authenticity and reliability, I ran a full H2testW scan, which confirmed that the flash memory is 100% real and the drive passed without data loss. Just a note: this test is very intensive and shouldn’t be run more than once or twice, as it uses up write cycles and significantly heats the drive. But it’s invaluable for catching bad drives early, and I always run it on new SSDs.During the full write test, I did notice a speed drop to about 175MB/s, which is normal as SSDs tend to slow down when they heat up or run low on available cache or space. That said, I’ve seen worse performance drops, and this one held up decently.Overall, I’m happy with this SSD, especially for the great deal I got during Amazon Prime Day. It performs well, passed all my tests, and I’m hoping it holds up over time.

Parfait nickel, rien que telle un NVMe pour installer windows et des applis, j’avais déjà un SSD samsung Pro qui à fait sont temps (fonctionne toujours mais) mais quelle différence entre un SSD et un NVMe, facilté d’insertion et petite visse fournie avec, et quelle diférence pour ré-installé Windows dessus, cela ma pris très peut de temps, une merveille, de plus 256 Go cela me suffit amplement car j’ai un HDD de 2 To pour le reste, oui acheté plus de Go c’est bien mais pourquoi payer plus que cela suffit, ne connaissant pas cette marque je trouve cela très abordable, mais je pense que KingSpec c’est du Kingston! n’hésité pas à passer au NVMe dès que vous le pouvez, vous n’aller pas le regreté
