Kingston Technology A1000 480GB M.2 PCI Express - Solid State Drives

Exceptional responsiveness and ultra-low latency. Kingston’s A1000 solid-state drive is an entry-level PCIe NVMe™ solution with a single-sided M.2 22x80mm design. This form factor is ideal for thinner notebooks and systems with limited space. Using a PCIe NVMe™ Gen 3.0 x2 interface, 4-channel Phison E8 controller and 3D NAND Flash, this drive offers read and write speeds of up to 1,500MB/s and 1,000MB/s*. It is 2X faster than a SATA-based SSD and 20X faster than a traditional hard drive, offering exceptional responsiveness, ultra-low latency and throughput. More reliable and durable than a hard drive, A1000 is built with NAND Flash semiconductor memory. There are no moving parts, making it far less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It is also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.A1000 is available in multiple capacities from 240GB–960GB** to give you all the space you need for applications, videos, photos and other important documents. You can also replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with a drive with enough storage capacity for all your files.* Based on “out-of-box performance” using a SATA Rev 3.0 / PCIe 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software and usage. IOMETER random 4K read/write is based on an 8GB partition. ** Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and

1. Non-Returnable Products: Once an order has been processed, items that are not classified as 3D memory products are non-returnable and cannot be cancelled.

2. Restocking Charges: A restocking fee of up to 25% may apply to eligible returns. The exact percentage depends on the product category.

3. Product Condition: All products are supplied in refurbished condition by default, unless explicitly stated as brand new retail stock prior to purchase.

4. Dispatch & Availability: Most orders are dispatched within 24 hours, subject to stock availability. For urgent or same-day dispatch requests, please contact our customer service team at (0)203-411-0694.

5. Manufacturer Part Numbers: Leading manufacturers such as Dell, HP, IBM, and Compaq may assign multiple identifiers to the same product, including Spare Part Numbers (Spare P/N#) or Field Replaceable Unit Numbers (FRU#). Items received may carry either designation and will be considered equivalent and fully compatible. For clarification, please contact our sales team.

6. Warranty Policy: All items are covered by a 30-day limited warranty, valid for replacement only in cases of DOA (Dead on Arrival), and must match the original part number. Certain storage devices may include an extended 90-day warranty—confirmation prior to purchase is recommended. Additional warranty options, including manufacturer or extended warranties, may be available upon request.

7. Drivers & Installation Media: Products are sold in bulk format and generally do not include installation media or drivers. If required, please confirm availability before placing your order.

8. Shipping Costs: Shipping charges are automatically calculated based on lighter items such as memory modules and hard drives (under 5 lbs). Heavier equipment, including servers, racks, or motherboards, may incur additional shipping costs. We recommend confirming shipping fees prior to order completion. In cases of discrepancies, our team will contact you to revise the charges accordingly.

9. Product Images: All product images are for illustrative purposes only. The actual item delivered may vary in appearance.
