Kingston was at CES 2019 showing the A2000 SSD drives in NVMe format, which the company has developed with a specific goal in mind: that it costs less than SATA drives.
Kingston reveals its NVMe A2000 SSD memory using 4x PCIe connection
Focusing solely on NVMe SSD storage drives has been impossible so far, due to the increased costs of NVMe controllers compared to their SATA counterparts, but this is the trend in any technology, prices drop after the introduction of a product for the first time.
Some NVMe solutions have used controllers that only support PCIe x2 buses, but not the A2000, which will use full 4x PCIe connections and will be available in 240, 480 or 960 GB capacities.
Kingston wants cheaper NVMe SSDs
The A2000 series will use different controllers, which means Kingston is sourced from more than one manufacturer (Silicon Motion's SM2263 series and Phison's low-cost controllers). Although this could introduce variations in performance, Kingston says they will ensure that experience and performance are consistent between the two variants, and that the only reason for this is to lower the total BOM costs to achieve a line of products below the cost of a SATA drive.
NVMe drives typically require less material than SATA drives and are also not limited in bandwidth. This could mean NVMe drives at a cost similar to or less than SATA, which so far is the biggest impediment to betting on them, plus the motherboard requires a special M.2 interface.
The new A2000 series will offer sequential read speeds of up to 2000 MB / s, as well as sequential write speeds of up to 1500 MB / s.
