Leven JPR600 NVMe SSD(2 TB)
Leven is a Taiwanese company established in 1996. It’s not known very well in Europe, where Amazon is its primary retailer. The JPR600 is the best NVMe model from this company, and 2 TB is the highest available capacity. There are also two other m.2 series from Leven (JP300 and JP600) but they reach the maximum capacity of 1 TB and read/write speed of up to 2400/1200 MB/s. The JPR600 is an SSD that’s available with a storage capacity of 512GB, 1 TB, and also 2 TB. We received the biggest one and for most of the users – this capacity should be enough for most of the tasks (but the games nowadays quite easily reach over 100 GB each). The drive uses the NVMe protocol and, according to the manufacturer, this series achieves read speeds of up to 3500 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3400 MB/s (which is great although you need to remember that there are also PCIe Gen 4 NvMe 1.3 drives out there, reaching 5000 MB/s). TBW for the 2 TB version is 3300 TB which looks really good. Equipped with a heatsink to cool down the drive, this is not a budget-oriented product. You can’t fit it into your laptops, as it’s not “bare” (and removing the heatsink equals voiding the warranty). The unit follows a smaller M.2 2280 form factor (8cm), so it will fit on most ATX motherboards capable of M.2 just fine.
The new model is offered with capacities ranging from 512 GB to 2 TB. Each of these options has different specifications:
512 GB: up to 3,400 MB/s in reading and up to 2,600 MB/s in sequential writing. No IOPS/TBW data is given.
1 TB: up to 3,400 MB/s in reading and up to 3,000 MB/s in sequential writing. No IOPS/TBW data is given.
2 TB: up to 3,500 MB/s in reading and up to 3,000 MB/s in sequential writing. No IOPS/data is given. The BTW is 3300 TB which is a good result
These SSDs have been fitted with TLC NAND, and they follow the NVMe form factor. Leven offers a very nice 5-year warranty on this product. The 2 TB variant is available for about 300 EUR. But let’s have a closer look at the JPR600 model, shall we?
