Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 Up to 4TB SSD With 3D TLC NAND

Kingston Digital, Inc., flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., announced KC3000, its next gen PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD for desktop and laptop PCs.

The SSD offers next-level performance using the Gen 4×4 NVMe controller and 3D TLC NAND for power users who require the fastest speeds.

By leveraging Gen4 technology, it delivers speeds up to 7,000/7,000MB/s R/W ⁽¹⁾ and capacities up to 4,096GB ⁽²⁾. Users can keep up with demanding workloads and experience better performance with software applications such as 3D rendering and 4K+ content creation by upgrading the systems storage. KC3000 is built with 3D TLC NAND housed in the M.2 2280 form factor to store even more and enable users to take advantage of PCIe 4.0 speeds. With the combination of performance and endurance, KC3000 is reinforced with a low profile, graphene aluminum heat spreader to disperse heat and keep the drive cool during intensive workloads.

“With the rise of data-heavy applications, consumers are demanding high performance solutions and high capacities to match,” said Keith Schimmenti, SSD business manager. “By utilizing next-gen PCIe 4.0 technology with KC3000, we are able to deliver fast and reliable storage to suit the needs of a wide range of consumers in the market.“

KC3000 SSD is available in 512, 1,024, 2,048 and 4,096GB ⁽²⁾ capacities. It is backed by a limited 5-year warranty ⁽⁴⁾ and free technical support.

⁽¹⁾ Based on ‘out-of-box performance’ using a PCIe 4.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, and usage.
⁽²⁾ Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for storage. As such, the actual available capacity for storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s flash memory guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
⁽³⁾ Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).
⁽⁴⁾ Limited warranty based on 5 years or ‘Percentage Used’ which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager. For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show percentage used value of 0, whereas a product that reaches its warranty limit will show a percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
