Review: Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe - Very Ambitious performance

Let me introduce you to Kingston's most prodigious KC3000 NVMe SSD, the PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD is one of the fastest NVMe SSDs we have tested so far, with a transfer rate of 7000 MB/sec. Not only does it look very attractive, but it also functions swift and fast.

Read the review here.

Pretty nice. Going forward I wish we would see improvements in random IO and not just sequential speeds. I say that because sequential speeds are already so fast most use cases the consumer has will never notice however getting that 80 MB/s ish up to a few hundred MB\s would be felt.

73°C with a heatsink? That's kind of very high for my taste, isn't it?


my cpu dont even get that hot and even if it did I would add more cooling to my case.

Seriously thought storage is pushing cpu/cpu temps now. not path i like to see continue, they need to get the heat in check. I do like idea of no more cables use for storage, but not at huge price premium I still think sata SSD are to expensive per gb and nvme is worse they also have or all that extra heat.

Great contender for the nvme crown, I am surprised they did not price them a little lower though, CCL have the 2tb model at a rrp of £645 reduced to £355, but compared to my Corsair pro xt 2tb which cost me £370 from scan is currently selling for £320....and thats with an effective heatsink, my pro xt 2tb currently at 47% full still reaches 7341/6848 in diskmark, never the less....this still looks good, considering most mid range boards these days come with at least 1 heat spreader it would be worth a serios consideration for someone looking for a high-end storage solution for there gaming rig.
