Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD - High-performance storage for desktop and laptop PCs -SKC3000D/2048G, Solid State Drive

Product Information

Armed with the fastest flash to ship from Micron yet and Phison’s E18 SSD controller, Kington’s KC3000 delivered a very responsive performance that proved it’s one of the best SSDs right now. There's plenty of room inside for good airflow around components therefore I haven't felt the need to add to the two included case fans as the case design allows for good passive airflow. Low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader - Exceptional thermal dissipation keeps your drive cool with maximum performance.

Servers Plus Business accounts have the option of 30-day credit terms, and a dedicated technical pre-sales account manager. Switching over to the Peak Performance test profile we see the drive in second place in the results chart behind Patriot's Viper VP4300 drive with its read score of 7,384MB/s.

It set enough lab records along the way that we feel comfortable in saying that it is overall the best-performing E18 based SSD we've tested to date. ATTO and CrystalDiskMark (CDM) are free and easy-to-use storage benchmarking tools that SSD vendors use to assign performance specifications to their products. Even though the KC3000 didn't win out over its E18 competition in every single benchmark, it did win enough times.

If you are looking to upgrade your lightweight laptop, consider the Samsung 980 Pro or WD Black SN850, both of which are more power-efficient.

I also changed the aluminum plate to a polycarbonate one and it really brings out the RGB so if you want brighter RBG switching the plate to an FR4/PC will help with that. Kaza (UK) Limited acts as a credit intermediary and offers credit products provided by Klarna Bank AB (publ). The KC3000 again sets the bar for E18 based SSDs, and in fact, sets the bar for any 176L arrayed SSD we've tested to date. Gaming is a performance metric that matters to the majority of DIY consumers, especially to the enthusiast crowd that TweakTown caters to. In terms of its game load performance, the Kingston KC3000 proved the most responsive in this Final Fantasy XIV benchmark.

Using the Real World default profile sees the KC3000 produce the best read result, 4,533MB/s, we've seen to date for a Gen4 drive in this test.
