motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, and usage.
IOMETER Random 4K Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.
2 Some
of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting
and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such,
the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is
listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash
memory guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
3 Total Bytes
Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).

Limited warranty based on 5 years or “Percentage Used” which can
be found using the Kingston SSD Manager (Kingston.com/SSDManager). For
NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value
of 0, whereas a product that reaches its warranty limit will show a Percentage
Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
