Kingston A1000 M.2 SA1000M8/240G 240 GB
 | Outdated Product High-performance internal 240 GB SSD with a high-speed M.2 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. It is positioned as a mid-range product designed for personal computers, mini-PCs and HTPC systems. The hardware basis of this model is a powerful 4-channel Phison PS5008-E8 controller with a DRAM buffer based on DDR3L memory. Toshiba's 64-layer BiCS3 3D TLC NAND flash memory exhibits improved wear resistance and moderate power consumption. Like all current drives with TLC and QLC memory, it supports high-speed SLC write caching with a buffer size of up to 8 GB. This is quite enough for the vast majority of scenarios of typical domestic and professional use. The Kingston A1000 M.2 SA1000M8/240G SSD is designed to work with motherboards equipped with an M.2 slot supporting the PCIe 3.0 2x inter...face and shows impressive read/write speeds of up to 1500/800 Mbps. This is enough for impressively fast loading of the operating system, browsers with many open windows, resource-intensive applications and actual games. The manufacturer declares a recording resource of 150 TB. This allows you to record about 20 GB of data daily for 10 years, which is more than enough for the vast majority of tasks. |

The package includes a key for the program to transfer Windows from the old drive to the new one (the program also allows for OS backups). I didn't use the program myself, I preferred to do a clean install.
