Kingston 2048G KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

Installed and checked out correctly. My computer, ROG Strix G15, has a spacer in the middle of the SSD2 slot which induces some flex, but as long as its not fatiguing from motion, I cant imagine its a problem.

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

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.

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.

Excellent and very fast drive. Runs significantly cooler than the equally fast drive it replaced in my system both using the same motherboard heatsink. Recommended!

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 pretty fast. Dont forget to install a heatsink.

great product

installed in a workstation and very pleased thus far
