Kingston will offer a consumer SSD with a PCIe 4.0 interface, which will be called the Kingston KC3000. The Phison-E18 controller is used in conjunction with the tlc-nand to control the system. 



Both the 2TB and 4TB variants have sequential read and write rates of 7,000 megabytes per second, which is more than twice as fast as its predecessor, the KC2500. The write speed for the 1TB model is 6,000MB/s, while the write speed for the 512GB model is 3,900MB/s. In terms of random read and write operations per second, the higher-end models can handle up to 1 million iops, while the lower-end versions can handle 450,000 to 900,000 operations per second.

High power usage (up to 10.2 watts) requires a cooling solution, which is included in the shape of a graphene sticker. The total bytes written, abbreviated as TBW, is 800 times the storage space available on the disk in question, and hence ranges from 400 to 3,200 terabytes in size. The KC3000 will be formally released on October 25th, however, the pricing has not yet been determined. The manufacturer's guarantee must be in effect for a period of five years.
