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

Product Information

During gaming, is the efficiency high enough to keep the temps down so the SN850 won't see the 92degsC during gaming? Kingston’s KC3000 managed to outperform both the Seagate FireCuda and Corsair MP600 Pro XT while leaving the WD Black SN850 and Samsung 980 Pro in the dust. More DRAM means faster PC performance when editing from video, from playback responsiveness to render time.

A drive might consume more power during any given workload, but accomplishing a task faster allows the drive to drop into an idle state more quickly, ultimately saving energy. If this is the fastest drive available it is most likely to demonstrate any possible benefit to the PCIe 5. 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.Hi, I have a TUF F15 2022 (FX507Z-RHQ043W) i7-12700H, 16GB, 1TB SSD, RTX3070, looking for a fast-ish 2TB SSD upgrade at my second slot.

Join industry experts to discuss how technology partners like Kingston support their business growth and sustainability.

Idle power consumption is an important aspect to consider, especially if you're looking for a laptop upgrade as even the best ultrabooks can have mediocre storage. Initially it was rather disappointing, but once the latest driver was installed it was quite impressive.

With that said, Kingston chose to sit out the E18 plus 96L Micron proliferation across the globe and instead waited until now to start doing their own thing with Phison's potent E18 Gen4 x4 NVMe controller. 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. 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. Low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader – Exceptional thermal dissipation keeps your drive cool with maximum performance. But the parts I received were perfect and delivered very well in great packaging and it wasn't too expensive.Unlike synthetic numbers, this is comprehensive real-world data which is why we use it to rank SSDs in terms of user experience. 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.
