Kingston KC3000 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Kingston KC3000 is an internal solid-state drive built on the high-speed PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe specification, specifically designed for systems requiring maximum data throughput. Utilizing 3D TLC NAND flash and the Phison E18 controller, the drive facilitates sequential reading speeds up to 7000 MB/s and writing speeds up to 3900 MB/s. These metrics support high-demand applications, including high-resolution content creation, real-time data processing, and demanding gaming loads. The drive provides a substantial upgrade path for users migrating from SATA or earlier generation PCIe standards.

This 512GB model adheres to the M.2 2280 form factor, ensuring physical compatibility with a wide range of modern desktop and laptop systems. Operational stability is provided through an endurance rating of 400 TBW (Total Bytes Written) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1,800,000 hours. The drive features low power consumption during idle periods, contributing to thermal and energy efficiency within compact builds. Optimized for performance computing environments, the KC3000 prioritizes rapid random I/O operations necessary for system responsiveness.
