The Klevv CRAS C910 ships in a compact box with a clear image of the drive in the centre. Above this image, in the top right-hand corner, is a sticker holding the drive's capacity (2TB) and maximum Sequential read speed (5,200MB/s). Under this, we find an icon for the attachable heatsink. Below the drive's image is a row of five icons for 3D NAND, NVMe 1.4, SLC Caching, Backup software, and limited warranty.
The rear of the box has a detailed feature list, under which is a multilingual statement about transmission speed, stable performance, and the drive's capabilities. Under this is a performance table for all three drives in the range displaying Sequential read/write speeds.
Inside the box is a plastic tray which holds and protects the CRAS C910 and the stick-on full-width stick-on aluminium heatsink.
The 2TB CRAS C910 is built on a single-sided M.2 2280 format.
Our review 2TB CRAS C910 sample uses a controller we've not come across before from a company that's pretty much known for having a controller for practically everything else besides NVMe SSDs – Realtek (but some examples have been seen using the more familiar InnoGrit IG5220 chip).
Realtek's RTS5772DL is a PCIe 4 x4 eight-channel, NVMe 1.4 controller designed for the mainstream market segment. A DRAM-less design, it supports interface speeds of up to 1600MT/s meaning Sequential performance of up to 6GB/s for both reads and writes, so it's not going to any win speed awards.
For the 2TB CRAS C910 Klevv has matched the controller with two packages of Essencore branded 3D TLC NAND (ENFFGP8NC9LR-HL) but we couldn't find any information about these particular chips.
