The Klevv CRAS C930 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). Under this are two icons for the attachable heatsink and PS5 support. Below the drive's image is a row of five icons for 3D NAND, NVMe 1.4, SLC Caching, Backup software, and a 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 both C930 drives displaying Sequential read/write speeds.
Inside the box is a plastic tray which holds and protects the CRAS C930 and the stick-on full-width stick-on aluminium heatsink.
The 2TB CRAS C930 is built on a single-sided M.2 2280 format, meaning that all the major components sit on one side of the PCB. Along with the InnoGrit IG5236 controller, there are two 1TB Essencore-branded 176-layer 3D TLC NAND packages and a 2GB DDR4-4266 DRAM cache IC.
InnoGrit's IG5236 controller (code name Rainier) is aimed at high-end client solutions. Built on a 12nm process, the 8-channel, NVMe 1.4 controller supports up to 8TB of SLC, MLC, TLC, and QLC NAND flash with either ONFI 4.1 or Toggle 2.0/3.0/4.0. It has a NAND interface running at up to 1200MT/s, which equates to a maximum Sequential performance of up to 7,400MB/s and 6,400MB/s for reads and writes, respectively.
