Kingston NV2 SSD Review: Cheap But Risky
A generic budget SSD with irregular hardware
The 2TB Kingston NV2 is a dirt cheap NVMe SSD and not much more. Performance is fairly bad, the drive runs hot, and you cannot be certain of the hardware. It makes for a cheap secondary drive but is not ideal for laptops or for use as a primary drive.

I will show you why this is not great for a laptop. Here are the NVME power states reported by this SSD, now that I have it in hand.
Here are some other NVME models I have gathered information from.
As you can see, the sleep states of the Kingston still use 1.5 watts, whereas other SSDs commonly use 50 to 500 TIMES less power in those states. Sleep states on NVMEs are typically entered after 500 to 1000 ms of inactivity, so this matters a lot. A common laptop may use 1.5 watts at idle for the entire system (minus display), so 1.5 watts for just the SSD doubles the idle power usage. If you don't mind that, then it's fine for a laptop, provided you can keep it cool.

Here's mine while running through a Realtek USB NVME enclosure (RTL9210B). Note that it wants HMB, but of course it's not available. It still works fine but writes will cause more flash writes than if HMB were in use. One small advantage of using it in this Realtek enclosure is when the NVME is idle for a time (default 1 minute), it completely powers it off - it doesn't use the sleep states.

There are a bunch of 1 star reviews on Amazon for this SSD, but no one lists their firmware so we have no idea if failures happen with both controllers or what. The NAND seems unlikely as a failure point as it's Intel 144 layer QLC for all we've seen so far and that's the same NAND used in Intel's 670p offering. The universal thing that seemed to trigger the failures was utilizing much of the drive - more than 60% full.
I can attest to very slow rates while doing a restore to the drive of approximately 500 GB of data. After the initial amount (50GB?), it started oscillating between 350MB/s and 70MB/s write, but this was in a USB enclosure. After it was done and it was in a M2 slot, it was back to 3.5GB/s read and 2.5GB/s write in CrystalDiskMark.

Edit: just read the low reviews. One user said it died after 2 days, yikes
