The GENUINE G560 from Klevv is the company's first-ever Gen 5.0 SSD. Powered by a Phison E26 controller and 232-layer NAND,  the 2TB drive is rated at up to 14,000MB/s for Sequential reads, To help keep the drive cool, it's fitted with a passive aluminium heatsink.

Powered by a Phison PS5026-E26  8-channel controller, the GENUINE G560 uses 232-layer 3D TLC NAND together with a LPDDR4 DRAM cache chip ( size of which is based on drive capacity at the ratio of 1GB per 1TB). At launch, the G560 range consists of three capacities; 1TB, 2TB (the drive we are reviewing here) and a flagship 4TB model.

Klevv rates the Sequential performance of the range as up to 13,000MB/s for reads and up to 9,500MB/s for writes for the 1TB model with both the 2TB and 4TB models rated up to 14,000MB/s and 12,000MB/s for reads and writes respectively. Random reads for the 1TB drive are listed as up to 1,300,000 IOPS with the 2TB and 4TB drives getting up to 1,400,000 IOPS. All three drives have the same up to 1,400,000 IOPS ratings for writes.

The endurance of the 2TB model is quoted as 1400 TBW and Klevv backs the drive with a 5-year warranty,
