The Klevv CRAS C930 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on November 23rd, 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Klevv CRAS C930 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the IG5236 (Rainier) from InnoGrit, a DRAM cache chip is available. Klevv has installed 176-layer TLC NAND flash on the CRAS C930, the flash chips are made by SK Hynix. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. The cache is sized at 650 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 3000 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 1000 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The CRAS C930 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and 6,800 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 1000K for reads and 1000K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 144 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Klevv guarantees an endurance rating of 1500 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
