ESSENCORE today unveiled the KLEVV CRAS C920 and KLEVV CRAS C720 SSDs in the M.2-2280 form-factor. The CRAS C920 takes advantage of the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 host interface, and uses the Phison E18-series controller, paired with 3D TLC NAND flash memory. It comes in capacities of 1 TB and 2 TB. Both variants offer sequential reads of up to 7,000 MB/s, differing in write speeds—up to 6,850 MB/s for the 2 TB variant, and up to 5,500 MB/s for the 1 TB variant.

The KLEVV CRAS C720 meanwhile, is a slightly value ended product. It combines the latest revision of Phison E12S controller with 3D TLC NAND flash, and takes advantage of the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 host interface. This drive comes in capacities of 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. Barring the 256 GB variant that offers sequential speeds of up to 3,200 MB/s with up to 1,300 MB/s writes; all the other variants offer up to 3,400 MB/s sequential reads; writing at up to 2,400 MB/s, 3,100 MB/s, and 3,100 MB/s, respectively. Endurance of these drives are rated at 170 TBW, 280 TBW, 565 TBW, and 1,550 TBW, respectively. The company didn't reveal pricing.



Update Jun 16th: The press-release follows.

KLEVV, an emerging memory brand introduced by Essencore, today launched two new M.2 NVMe PCIe Solid State Drives (SSDs) - the CRAS C920, KLEVV's first PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD, and the CRAS C720 SSD, a PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSD which is an upgraded version of last year's C710. Both products have a matte black PCB to reflect its low key yet sophisticated design philosophy.

CRAS C920 - the full power of PCIe 4.0
Utilizing the latest PCle 4.0 technology, KLEVV's CRAS C920 SSD offers up to 2-3 times the speed of current mainstream PCle Gen3 SSDs. This SSD boasts speeds of up to 7000 MB/s read and 6850 MB/s write and is available in both 1 TB and 2 TB capacities. Compatible with the latest Intel and AMD platforms, the CRAS C920 can help you deliver all of the enhanced performance of the newest chipsets and CPUs.

CRAS C720 - the smart upgrade choice
The PCIe Gen 3 x4 CRAS C720 is a smart and affordable upgrade that can raise your system to a new level, with speeds up to 3400 MB/s read and 3100 MB/s write. By using extensive testing and verification, CRAS C720 is able to offer long term reliability. And it is available in capacities from 256 GB to 2 TB to suit all storage scenarios.

Advanced tech for data integrity and reliability
KLEVV's C920 and C720 are packed with advanced features to enhance whole-system performance, SSD lifetime, and value. The intelligent SLC caching algorithm brings high endurance and optimized performance. A hardware LDPC ECC Engine also enhances endurance - and, together with the thermal throttling algorithm and SRAM error handling, guards data integrity, too. These drives also use advanced 3D NAND technology, the assurance of Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T), plus a five-year limited warranty. Included is Acronis True Image HD 2018 software for easy full disk-image backup and data migration from older drives.

Where to buy
KLEVV products are distributed by Memory Technology Middle East Fzco/TSSC FZCO in Dubai. All lineups are available at local online/offline channels.
