Armed with the fastest flash to ship from Micron yet and Phison’s E18 SSD controller, Kington’s KC3000 delivered a very responsive performance that proved it’s one of the best SSDs right now. If you are looking to upgrade your lightweight laptop, consider the Samsung 980 Pro or WD Black SN850, both of which are more power-efficient.

Average workload power consumption and max consumption are two other aspects of power consumption, but performance-per-watt is more important. NVMe is the protocol for SSDs, which is faster than the legacy AHCI protocol used in SATA SSDs and hard drives. For the KC3000, Kingston is using premium 1600 MT speed Micron 176L dies, cut, stacked, and packaged in-house. Additionally, we are giving it our gaming SSD crown because it is, in our opinion, the best performing flash-based gaming SSD that can be purchased in the Americas.

Kingston have taken their time to introduce a Gen4 SSD, but the wait has been worth it as they’ve been able to combine Phison’s E18 controller with the latest 176-layer 3D TLC NAND to make the KC3000 one of the fastest Gen4 drives around. data states it will throttle at 84 degrees Celsius, but the flash temperature can cause it to thermal throttle sooner.

Kingston’s KC3000 displayed average efficiency under load when considering its copy performance, but overall, it was the most power-hungry M.

We're making continuous improvements to the compatibility checker and would love to hear your feedback! After absorbing 930GB of data from our transfer, the NAND package closest to the controller reached 70 degrees Celsius, causing the KC3000 to throttle.We have to say it's a bit refreshing to get something in the lab that we don't already know how it performs because we've tested it with different labels a hundred times before. As part of our RGB series of gaming PCs this unit comes with a fully controllable RGB lighting system which allows you to change the colour of your fans and LED strips with nearly infinite variations, all from the convenience of a remote control unit. It set enough lab records along the way that we feel comfortable in saying that it is overall the best-performing E18 based SSD we've tested to date. If there is any faults, we will attempt to solve this remotely and if needed get the PC collected and back to base for repair.
