Review Klevv CRAS C925 SSD Review: Competent but uninspiring

[Admin]

The Klevv CRAS C925 SSD has good hardware and performs decently, but it fails to deliver anything special in the crowded budget SSD field. The 2TB model is also out of stock everywhere, which makes it difficult to recommend when we can't see retail pricing.

Seems like a decent enough budget drive if the price is right. Though to be fair that latter bit seems to be pretty much every NVMe SSD tier right now as the performance all seems to cluster and it ends up just being about which price point you're in.

Unrelated to this drive specifically, but Solidigm has discontinued all of their client SSDs as of October. I didn't see any news on this at all and wonder if there's any information anyone may have. It did seem weird for SK Hynix to have self branded and Solidigm drives using the same NAND and controller, but the Solidigm drives did have their proprietary driver and software (SK Hynix P41 Pro does not appear to be discontinued). Then Klevv started releasing more products and while they use SK Hynix NAND in everything they do not use the same controllers.

Uninspiring is what I want to see: good pricing, good endurance, TLC, and DRAM if possible (not in this one). Most people do not need to saturate the PCIe 5.0 interface.
