Key Specifications

Extreme Speed for Demanding Workloads

Powered by the Phison E18 controller and 3D TLC NAND, the Kingston KC3000 achieves sequential read speeds of up to 7,000MB/s and write speeds of 6,000MB/s. This translates to dramatically reduced load times in applications and near-instant file transfers, perfect for professionals working with large datasets or high-resolution media.

Robust Reliability and Endurance

With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 1,800,000 hours and a TBW (Terabytes Written) rating of 800TB, this SSD is built for long-term, heavy use. The advanced thermal management system, featuring a low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader, ensures consistent performance by preventing thermal throttling during extended workloads.

Compact M.2 2280 Design

The slim M.2 2280 form factor (22mm x 80mm) allows for easy installation in space-constrained systems, including small-form-factor builds and ultrabooks. Its low-profile heatsink design maintains optimal temperatures without adding bulk, making it suitable for both desktop and laptop configurations.

Enhanced Workflow for Content Creators

Whether you’re editing 4K video, compiling complex code, or running virtual machines, the KC3000’s high random read/write performance (up to 900,000/1,000,000 IOPS) ensures smooth, uninterrupted operation. This SSD is engineered to keep pace with the most demanding creative and technical applications.
