Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD - High-performance storage for desktop and laptop PCs -SKC3000S/1024G

Product Information

At TechNextDay, we’re not only a seller of PC components, but also a partner in your passion for computing. solid-state drives—and the only TLC-based one—that we've tested that offers a 4TB capacity for storage-starved users.

But seeing as this enclosure was meant for 2TB I opened the second 2TB KC3000, and lo and behold after initially being recognized the drive went silent and got very, very hot. The durability ratings for the KC3000, as measured in terabytes written (TBW), are a bit above average for a TLC-based drive. In testing, the Kingston KC3000 edged out the Seagate FireCuda 530 and Corsair MP600 Pro XT and it delivered faster random 4K read speeds than even the Samsung 980 Pro, our previous (NAND-based) record-holder. Servers Plus enjoy direct relationships with all of the world's leading server, storage and networking vendors, and as such we can offer you unrivalled pricing, exclusive bundles and range of cashback offers. Comparing the benchmark result screens we can see that the Phison E18 controller that powers the Kingston KC3000 is much more efficient when reading compressible sequential and especially 4K random data at a queue depth of 1.Hotjar sets this cookie to know whether a user is included in the data sampling defined by the site's daily session limit. With Micron’s 176L TLC clocking in at 1,600 MTps and responsive lab test results backing it, Kingston’s 2TB KC3000 proves itself as a top-tier PCIe 4. In reference to high temps, for my understanding and comparison uses, please explain why you pick the WD SN850 as a laptop upgrade over the Kingston KC3000 when based on your SN850 review. All PC-related content is welcome, including build help, tech support, and any doubt one might have about PC ownership.

The SLC cache methodology used here is fascinating, as it provides the maximum advantage in writing speed over the long haul. Kingston’s KC3000 displayed average efficiency under load when considering its copy performance, but overall, it was the most power-hungry M.Join us in celebrating and promoting tech, knowledge, and the best gaming, study, and work platform there exists. If you want a SSD for laptops get a Samsung 980 pro, WD Black SN850, or if you don’t mind a little slower in some regard, the WD Black SN770 and SK hynix Gold P31. When tested without airflow, the controller region of the heat spreader measured 78 degrees Celsius at its hottest once we wrote roughly 1TB of data to the SSD sequentially.

When a flash storage device is manufactured, steps are taken to ensure that the device operates reliably and permits the host device (computer, digital camera, PDA, etc.

In terms of its game load performance, the Kingston KC3000 proved the most responsive in this Final Fantasy XIV benchmark. We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition. We put the KC3000 through our usual suite of internal solid-state drive benchmarks, comprising Crystal DiskMark 6. The KC3000 proved to be among the faster PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 4 drives we've tested; it did great in our PCMark 10 benchmarks, which measure a drive's speed in performing everyday tasks such as loading programs, though not so well in the AS-SSD tests that involve copying folders full of small files.

MT/s is the accurate measure for DDR SDRAM memory transfers that happen on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle, not MHz. This trio of tests measures a drive's speed in copying files or folders from one location on the drive to another. As for the Kingston KC3000’s thermals, the heat spreader does a good job at distributing the heat across the componentry and away from the controller.

While the flash interface speed played a big part in its victories, they were also achieved due in part to a larger dynamic SLC cache than compared to the Seagate and Corsair. That said, you pay considerably more per gigabyte (about a quarter) for the Kingston than you would for the 4TB Sabrent Rocket Q4, which sells for 17 cents a gig, or the 4TB Mushkin Delta, which is just 13 cents per gigabyte.
