Despite Kingston's all-business brand perception, is the KC3000 1TB yet another exceptionally high performance SSD for gamers and enthusiasts like the KC2500, except upgraded and supercharged with the PCIe 4.0 interface? Based on our test results, the ans...

Kingston's KC3000 512GB, other than Optane, represents the first time we can recall. Size doesn't matter. For the most part, the 512GB KC3000 is just as fast as its higher capacity siblings, and we are talking where it matters, not meaningless sequential...

Kingston is one of the few fabless memory companies that actually build its memory products. While most SSD retailers are selling canned Phison SSDs with customized labels or heat sinks or whatever it may be, they are all pretty much the same. Kingston is...

Average write endurance,Leading models are similarly priced
The Kingston KC3000 is a competitively priced Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD available in all major capacities. While it's unlikely to blow many people away, there's no faulting the consistent performance it offers overall. PROS Great pricing Strong sequence performan...
Great performance, 5-year warranty, Ideal for a PS5 & PC
Expensive, Idle power consumption is high, No hardware encryption
If it wasn't for some of the cheaper PCIe 4.0 SSD offerings, the Kingston KC3000 might be worth the relatively high price that its maker is asking. But given recent TSMC price hikes and other component price pressures, maybe we all need to accept that tec...
