[SOLVED] Kingston A1000 or KC2000 for game storage?

[McLovinHawaii]

I'm running low on storage for my games and want to buy a M.2. I have found two candidates at 960 GB; Kingston A1000 and Kingston KC2000.
The KC2000 is the most expensive and is the one I have been finding the best reviews on. But when looking at the specs they seem to have identical read and write speed, so why should I pay more and pick the KC2000 over the A1000? 🤔

They definitely don't have the same read/write specs. And the A1000 has a PCIe 3.0 x2 interface, rather than x4. But I doubt you'd ever notice a difference between one SSD and the next just for loading games.

Really? All the shops I've been browsing says they both have 1500 MBps read / 1000 MBps write. Guess they all gather information automatically from the same source. I guess I'll go for the cheaper A1000 then, thanks!
