- Is the VP14000 really a PCIe 5.0 drive?
- It uses a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface, but the listed sequential read of 148 MB/s is far below Gen5 speeds. The interface alone does not make it fast.
- Should I use it as a Windows boot drive?
- It can work, but slow reads make boot and app loading sluggish compared with mainstream NVMe drives. A faster Gen4 drive is a better choice for a system disk.
- Will it fit my laptop?
- It is a standard M.2 2280 drive, so it fits slots that accept that length. Check that your slot supports NVMe and has clearance for a single-sided drive.
- How does it compare with a Gen4 drive like the Samsung 990 Pro?
- The 990 Pro and similar Gen4 drives list reads in the thousands of MB/s, while this drive lists 148 MB/s. The Kingspec is a budget storage drive, not a performance part.
- What is the endurance rating?
- No TBW or warranty figure is published for this model. Ask the seller for the endurance rating before relying on it for heavy writes.
- Where is the Kingspec VP14000 1TB PCIe 5.0x4 M.2 NVMe SSD cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $219.99, as of our latest check.
