Best 1TB PCIe 3.0 Hikvision TLC SSDs
There are 4 1TB PCIe 3.0 Hikvision TLC SSDs compared here. The fastest is the Hikvision CRIUS HIKVISION E2000 at 3500 MB/s read at 1TB, and the highest-rated for endurance is the Hikvision CRIUS HIKVISION E2000R (1665 TBW). Sequential reads across the group span 3450–3500 MB/s at 1TB.
Why this configuration
A 1TB PCIe 3.0 Hikvision TLC SSD is an affordable NVMe step up from SATA. Gen3 is roughly six times SATA's throughput yet often costs little more, making it the easy default for a first NVMe drive or a laptop that only supports Gen3. Hikvision specifically tends to be chosen here for its firmware track record and warranty support.
1TB is the capacity most single-drive builds settle on.
Usually chosen for: budget builders, laptop upgraders and anyone leaving SATA behind.
Good fit: everyday all-rounder use, from OS drive to game library.
