KLEVV Genuine G560 1TB Gen5x4 NVMe SSD / Up to 13,000MB/s Sequential Read / Up to 9,500MB/s Sequential Write / M.2 2280 Form Factor / Phison E26 Controller / K01TBM2SP0-G56 + FREE DELIVERY !

The KLEVV Genuine G560 1TB is a PCIe Gen5x4 NVMe SSD offering up to 13,000MB/s sequential read and 9,500MB/s sequential write, built around the Phison E26 controller for stability and consistency. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor, so it fits most modern laptops and desktops as a straight storage upgrade for large file transfers and demanding applications.

The Genuine G560 is an M.2 2280 NVMe solid state drive, the size most current laptops and desktop motherboards are designed around. Upgrading is a single-slot job with no drive bay or cabling involved: it seats directly in an M.2 socket and runs over the PCIe Gen5x4 interface, replacing a slower drive without changing anything else in the build.

The Genuine G560 is equipped with a DRAM cache that allows faster storage and quicker access, paired with intelligent SLC caching technology that optimises read and write speeds along with drive durability. Together they keep everyday work responsive, whether that is opening a large project file, installing a game or writing a batch of media to the drive.

The PCIe Gen5x4 interface doubles the bandwidth and speeds of the previous PCIe Gen4x4 generation, which is where the drive's transfer performance comes from on demanding tasks. KLEVV notes that its published results were measured on the 2TB model, and that real performance varies with the hardware test platform, software and operating system in use.

An optimised aluminium heatsink cools the Genuine G560 while giving it a rugged white and black look. An advanced thermal throttling algorithm works alongside it, so the drive stays cool under pressure and holds peak performance and reliability instead of losing speed part-way through a long sustained write.

Operating temperature is crucial to an SSD's operational stability, and the Genuine G560's specially designed aluminium heatsink has been through rigorous testing and verification to confirm its cooling performance. By significantly reducing the drive's operating temperature it supports robust data integrity and security, which matters to gamers and content creators pushing Gen5 speeds for long stretches.

The Genuine G560 supports the latest Microsoft DirectStorage, which handles game data and decompression more efficiently for smoother gameplay and faster loading. In testing, DirectStorage reduced CPU usage to as low as 1%, boosted bandwidth to a maximum of 17.25GB/s and improved game loading speed by 70%. It requires a GPU supporting DirectX 12 and Shader Model 6.0, plus Windows 10 version 1909 or higher.

S.M.A.R.T., or Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, runs on the Genuine G560 as a fault detection system that improves stability by reporting the drive's condition. Monitoring tools read those attributes directly from the drive, so the health of your storage is something you can check rather than assume, well before it becomes a problem.

The Genuine G560 uses 23x-layer 3D NAND technology with data transfer speeds of up to 2400MT/s, and that flash speed is a large part of the drive's performance improvement. Faster NAND feeds the controller more quickly, which shows up as shorter waits when reading big files rather than only in a peak sequential figure.

Using the Phison master controller with Predict & Fetch technology, 5th Generation LDPC on the Genuine G560 predicts read operations and prefetches data in advance to improve reading speed. Error correction and read-ahead working together matters most on the small, scattered reads that applications and game engines actually generate, not just on long sequential transfers.

The Genuine G560 family has an expansive capacity ceiling of up to 4TB with 3000 TBW of endurance, keeping essential files and game libraries accessible for years to come. This listing covers the 1TB model, which sits at the entry point of that range on the same Gen5x4 platform, controller and heatsink design.

Robust AES 256-bit encryption is built into the Genuine G560, providing outstanding data security for the material stored on the drive. Encryption at that strength is the level used to protect sensitive information, which matters as much on a drive holding work files and client projects as it does on a personal system.

The Genuine G560 is aimed at gaming, video editing and 3D rendering, workloads where storage speed sets the pace of the whole job. Against Gen4 SSDs it shortens load times and keeps timeline scrubbing and asset loading moving, so the drive stops being the component everything else is waiting on.

Transferring large files is where up to 13,000MB/s read and 9,500MB/s write are felt most directly, cutting the wait when you copy footage, archives or game installs. Demanding applications launch and pull their data at the same pace, which is the practical result of Gen5x4 speed on ordinary day-to-day work rather than in a benchmark.

Moving from Gen4 to the latest PCIe Gen5x4 technology gives the Genuine G560 the headroom for effortless multitasking, so switching between software applications does not stall on storage. Several programs reading and writing at once share far more bandwidth than the previous generation offered, which keeps a busy workstation responsive with a render, a game and a browser all open.

The duotone aluminium heatsink pairs its cooling job with a deliberate look, finished in white and black rather than left plain. On motherboards that leave the M.2 slot exposed, the Genuine G560 reads as a considered part of the build, so the drive suits a windowed case instead of being something you would rather cover up.

The KLEVV Genuine G560 comes with an activation key for Acronis True Image 2023, which provides comprehensive disk-image backup and universal restore for moving an existing installation onto the new drive. It also carries an active defence mechanism that detects and prevents WannaCry attacks, monitoring changes to your data files and alerting you to suspicious activity.
