Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Kingston NV3

What it brings

  • Rated up to 6,000 MB/s sequential read and 4,000 MB/s sequential write over PCIe 4.0 x4, in a thin 2.3 mm single-sided module suited to laptops as well as desktops.

What to check

  • Endurance is rated at 320 TB written, and Kingston lists only generic 3D NAND without naming the controller or saying whether it has a DRAM cache.

MSI SPATIUM M390

What it brings

  • Rated up to 3,300 MB/s sequential read, 3,000 MB/s write, 420,000 random read and 550,000 random write IOPS at 1 TB.
  • Works with PCIe Gen3, Gen2 and Gen1 M.2 NVMe hosts, and MSI lists LDPC ECC, end-to-end data path protection and TCG Pyrite support.

What to check

  • As a PCIe 3.0 x4 drive its rated speeds top out at 3,300 MB/s read, and the 1 TB warranty write limit is 400 TB.
  • The data sheet has no DRAM cache row and does not state the NAND cell type or a post-cache write speed.
