Take a good look at this detail before buying a Kingston NV1 SSD

We have ever seen something similar in hard drives, motherboards, graphics, but in this case it is something different, so take a good look at this detail before buying a Kingston NV1 SSD.

Some media after making some reviews or a simple purchase have noticed that some SSD Kingston NV1, from the factory they had a controller without DRAM Silicon Motion SM2263XT, with flash QLC NAND 96 layers of Micron Technology.

The problem is that other “identical” drives had controllers Phishon E13T equipped with some NAND TLC memory chips, a worrying detail when for the same price you get different qualities.

QLC memory offers worse performance than TLC memory

The techpowerup medium has published, apart from information about it, some images detailing these changes and what we have to look at when buying them.

As you can see in the images, you have to look for the model with the bright controller (SM2263XT) or the condenser arrangement (Phison E13T).

Remember that online stores usually have images provided by the manufacturer and are not updated, so if you choose to buy online, when it arrives, take a good look at the model that has arrived.
