Kingston 2048G KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

Para actualizar los discos duros de mi laptop

Seemed OK at first but after 6 months Windows 11 kept claiming its files were corrupt, then it started leaking a black oil like substance and I got FATAL power events in Windows. The third time I re-installed Windows 11 and Linux on it, I realized it was this KC3000 causing the problems. It lasted 10 months but has been somehow damaged since month 5. Back to WD_Black!! DO NOT TOUCH THESE DRIVES! All my pals who bought these in February 2022 have had the same experience with these KC3000 1TB drives.

Ive bought a brand new drive from a local retailer and it had sporadic corruptuion problems from the beginning, system failures until it finally died no more than a month after I bought it.

Its not the fastest SSD on the market but the performance/price ratio is superb. Im getting 7000MB/s+ read on a single drive and doubled to 14000MB/s on RAID0 setup. Q1T1 is decent as well. Benched from 12700K Z690/DDR5 system.

I purchased this in Feb of 2022. As a longtime Samsung user, I was taking a big risk by changing brands in order to gain what ostensibly was equivalent lifespan and better performance. I was nervous because a family member had previously purchased a Kingston SSD and had it fail. My build was plagued with random pauses from the get-go, but I didnt use it frequently enough to diagnose it. In hindsight that was obviously an SSD issue. 13 months after purchase, windows crashed. After a hard reboot, the SMART data that the BIOS is seeing is telling me the drive is toast. It wont boot at all now. Lesson learned: stick to Samsung. This drive is a steaming pile waiting to die after you put important data on it.

not working when arrived , installed , woukd not read , ordered samsung pro990 , reads and hits advertised speed.

Exceeds 7,000 read write.

It works no issues so far

The read speeds on crystal disk mark are right on for the first pass... On the first pass for write speeds their no better than a Samsung EVO 870 ... Seriously, very, very disappointing.

These babies are super fast and priced great, has become my favorite drive over Samsung
