The Drive

The drive is designed for the M.2 2280 form factor, which makes it 22 mm wide and 80 mm long.

SSD Interface Connector

PCI-Express 4.0 x4 is used as the host interface to the rest of the system, which despite the release of Gen 5 drives is still pretty much the standard these days, it doubles the theoretical bandwidth compared to PCIe 3.0 x4.

On the PCB you'll find the SSD controller and two flash chips. A DRAM cache is not available.


Klevv includes a metal heatsink with the drive. It's made of aluminium and has a sticky thermal pad on the bottom.


Once installed, you can see that there's a little bit of flex, which is good, because it ensures optimum thermal contact—the controller chip is a bit lower in Z-Height than the NAND chips.
