Kingston NV2
Cheap but not cheerful, bemoans Shane Downing.
It’ll be faster than your spinning rust but not most other NVMe options.

The Kingston NV2 is one of those SSDs that is simply too good to be true. The price is exceptional, especially at 2TB, and it is sold as a PCIe 4.0 drive. Yet it has no definitive hardware inside and its performance for both of our samples is distinctly bottom of the barrel. It also runs a little hot and inefficiently in our testing.
