The Klevv CRAS CR700 RGB is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on May 16th, 2019. It is available in capacities ranging from 480 GB to 960 GB. This page reports specifications for the 960 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Klevv CRAS CR700 RGB interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2263EN from Silicon Motion. Klevv has installed 72-layer TLC NAND flash on the CRAS CR700 RGB, the flash chips are made by SK Hynix. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. The CRAS CR700 RGB is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 1,500 MB/s and 1,300 MB/s write; random IO reaches 255K IOPS for read and 220K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 160 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Klevv guarantees an endurance rating of 400 TBW, a relatively low value compared to other SSDs.
