Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD - High-Performance Storage for Desktop and Laptop PCs -SKC3000D/4096G, 7,000MB/s Read, 7,000MB/s Write, Black

In PCIe 3 Read speeds upto 3600mbps and Write 3500mbps So if u have only PCIe 3 slot dont by this go for cheaper version of nvme and For PCIe 4 slot then its a good pick .... PRRFORMANCE BOOTING TIME ONLY TOOK 8 SEC TO BOOT WINDOWS 11 AFTER AOME OS UPDATES IT FLUCTUATES FROM 8 TO 14S BUT YOU CANT SEE MUCH DIFFERENCE. Worth for the Price and Much cheaper than SAMSUNGS 980 PRO GO FOR IT.. FOR 512 GB USERS DON'T PARTION IT U WILL GET MAXIMUM PERFORMACE if itss not partioned EXCELLENT READ & WRITE SPEEDS IT IS SUITED FOR PCIe 3.0 but u cant get full 7000mbps speed.. Thankyou Harish M

I think my devices are out of date I am using this drive as an external NAS device without raid or any redundancy and I get a speed of 20Mbps only with KC3000 Kingston and a TP link AX73 router. I know I am way behind utilising the drive. This was my intention on buying it. I expected a speed of 100Mbps. Sometimes it reads at 60Mbps and starts writing @100Mbps and then gradually settles down to 18 to 20Mbps. I tried it direct to mobile and tablet both android by OnePlus. The speed was similar to USB flash drive speed depending on content, both read/write starts at around 100Mbps and then drops to 20Mbps not seen going under 20Mbps. I don't have my laptop around to test it's full capabilities around now. But soon shall try. If any questions I can answer. Also suggestions. I am not using the cables supplied but using the 1+ cable 1.5 meter long. Tried with the supplied cables and results were not astronomical. No heatup what's so ever. Just gets slightly warm that's about it when there is in and out traffic.Otherwise cold as room temp.

Best performance no heating issues like when transferring many file, value for money product also TBM is good

It's installation is so easy if you are familiar with laptops hardware installation. Best quality product and nicely packed. My laptop used to take 10 minutes to start earlier. But by installing this ssd it starts in just 15-20 second. Read write speed is accurate as mentioned. Little expensive but just go for it you will not regret.

Been using this since early 2023, This M.2 delivers great performance with Boot times, file transfers and game load times.

Excellent performance. Must buy.

My test setup: Intel i7 12700, MSI B660 Tomhawk DDR4 Motherboard, 16GB dual channel DDR4 RAM, Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics. PRO NO. 1: GREAT SEQ. READ/WRITE SPEEDS FOR 1TB MODEL The biggest advantage of KC3000 is the 7000/6000 mbps read/write speed for 1TB model. Whereas other SSDs only perform to advertised speeds on higher 2TB storage versions. PRO NO. 2: TBW OF 800 FOR 1TB MODEL Other drives like Samsung 980 Pro and WD SN850 has lower 600 TBW which makes KC3000 a great and reliable option in long term. PRO NO. 3: PHISON E18 CONTROLLER AND DRAM Some Gen4 SSDs like WD SN770 are DRAM-less and cannot offer seamless performance in larger transfers. Also, KC3000 uses Phison's latest E18 controller which is best in the memory industry period. There are no significant cons other than the lack of a bundled heat sink which would have been awesome. Nonetheless, it's a great choice for an OS DRIVE (Main boot drive).

Interesting part is i had an issue with my smps or psu so it was getting disconnected whenever I starting a game or putting a lot of pressure into this ssd. after that bought a corsair cx750m and my problems are gone now. and its giving me amazing speed. though am using it in gen 3 port. its still amazing. attached is my gen 3 speed of this drive. also remember this has dram.
