Bang for the buck PCIe NVMe SSD - Kingston A1000

The A1000 is Kingston Technology’s newest PCIe NVMe SSD. Kingston Technology has positioned the A1000 as a budget offering for those who are looking to reap the benefits of a PCIe NVMe SSD however at a more affordable price tag. The A1000 is available in 3 storage tiers - 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB - today we’ll be reviewing the 480GB A1000 which is currently available on Amazon for $128 CAD.

In the interest of full disclosure i’d like to let you know that I was sent this review unit by Kingston Technology, however they are in no way influencing this review. The entirety of this review is of my own opinion and findings.

In this video we will also be comparing the Kingston A1000 to the Toshiba XG5, and comparing the Kingston A1000 to the Toshiba OCZ RD400.

Our test devices are two Dell XPS 15 devices: the Dell XPS 15 9560 and Dell XPS 15 9570.
