The Kingston NV1 is the company's most affordable M.2 NVMe SSD. Priced at just $85 for the 1 TB version, it offers a tremendous value proposition. Performance numbers in our review of the Kingston NV1 are disappointing though, but the attractive pricing will still make it an option for many.

Cheap storage. Ideal replacement for traditional harddrive's.

Looking at the relative performance page, it looks like there is no reason to get this over SN570

145 euros for the 2TB model on amazon.de which is quite a bit cheaper than the next 2TB ones (160+ for one other, but then 169+).
Performance is good enough for the cheapest 2TB SSD on the market.
Bought it as a gift for someone who didn't have enough storage on his gaming PC. Easy to install without needing cables etc is nice.

Thanks for the review. I want to ask, if it is possible in the graphs to indicate what type is SSD -> SATA or NVME.

It would make the graphs quite a bit more complicated to read, and you can usually see it from the grouping
