Introduction

Launched in 2014, KLEVV is a brand that specializes in memory products, both DRAM and NAND. The brand is owned by Essencore, who are part of the SK Group (SK C&C), KLEVV benefits from strong ties to SK Hynix, one of the world’s largest and most respected DRAM manufacturers. The brand name “KLEVV” was chosen to suggest a clever, technically advanced choice for consumers.

Today we are testing the KLEVV CRAS C930, a midrange M.2 NVMe SSD that’s selling at competitive pricing. Internally, the Innogrit IG5236 controller is used, which has been on the market for quite some time now. It was first launched around 2021 and has been used on drives like the Acer Predator GM7000, HP FX900 Pro, Lexar NM800, Silicon Power X70 and XPG Gammix S70 Blade. The NAND flash is Hynix’s modern 176-layer 3D TLC NAND.

The KLEVV CRAS C930 is available in capacities of 1 TB ($76) and 2 TB ($120). Endurance for these models is set to 750 TBW and 1500 TBW, respectively. KLEVV offers a five-year warranty with the C930.
