The Klevv CRAS C930 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on November 23rd, 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Klevv CRAS C930 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the IG5236 (Rainier) from InnoGrit, a DRAM cache chip is available. Klevv has installed 176-layer TLC NAND flash on the CRAS C930, the flash chips are made by SK Hynix. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The CRAS C930 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and 6,400 MB/s write; random IO reaches 1000K IOPS for read and 1000K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 80 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Klevv guarantees an endurance rating of 750 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
