Kingston are shipping their brand new 120GB M.2 2280 SSD

 

This is the first in their line up of M.2 SSDs and is the lowest capacity that they are offering. Full story here: http://www.kitguru.net/components/ssd-drives/anton-shilov/kingston-begins-to-ship-ssds-in-m-2-form-factor/

 

The main thing that I really want is an M.2 SSD with a black PCB that will actually perform considerably faster than a normal SSD because what has been shown so far doesn't seem to be worth it. The new Kingston drive will have 550MB/s reads and 20MB/s writes. Not that much of an improvement really. Hopefully the higher capacity models will perform better than this. But still no black PCB  :(

No brushed aluminium. D: 

Yes, I would buy these to have a brushed aluminium shroud section on my motherboard. If it were purely that, and no plastic/other metal, I think it'd look space ship-y and awesome. :D
