KLEVV CRAS C930 2TB M.2 SSD Review

A Closer Look

The drive itself is what you would expect from an M.2, and comes in the most common 2280 form factor, with the controller and VRAM on the left, and two memory ICs on the right.

Everything is well laid out, so if you’re using the included cooler, or using your own heatsink that may be on your motherboard already, it should be easy to keep cool. Plus, since this is only PCIe Gen 4, not the later Gen5, these drives generally run a fair bit cooler anyway.

Around the back, there’s a simple sticker over the rear of the PCB, nothing fancy, but pretty much what we expected.

The included heatsink is really nice, with a single-piece construction and made from aluminium.

There are some added fins on one side, increasing the surface area, and every little bit will help improve the cooling performance.

The heatsink has a 3M thermal pad and adhesive on the back, so just peel off the cover and clip it onto the SSD.

Now that it’s fully assembled, it’s ready to use, so let’s get it onto the test bench and see what it can do!
