Kingston KC3000 1024GB NVMe SSD with HeatSink

This internal solid-state drive uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface and a Phison E18 controller with 3D TLC memory. It delivers sequential reads up to 7000 MBps and writes up to 6000 MBps in the compact M.2 2280 form factor. A low-profile graphene aluminum heat spreader is included.

High-performance desktop and laptop upgrade

The drive suits enthusiasts and professionals who need sustained throughput for large-file workflows, gaming loads or heavy multitasking. Its 800 TBW endurance rating and 1.8 million-hour MTBF support intensive daily writes. Buyers whose systems only support PCIe 3.0 or lack an M.2 2280 slot should select a different drive.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface requirement

Compatibility hinges on the host having an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe signalling. The drive will negotiate down to PCIe 3.0 speeds if the platform only supports that generation, but peak throughput requires the full 4.0 link. Verify the motherboard or laptop specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

What M.2 slot length and keying does the 2280 form factor require?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor, measuring 80.00 mm long and 22.00 mm wide with an M-key notch for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe.

Which step is often missed when installing the graphene aluminum heat spreader on this SSD?

Many builders forget to remove the protective film from the heat spreader before seating the drive, which blocks thermal transfer.

When will the 800 TBW endurance rating require drive replacement?

The 800 TBW rating covers the warranty period; replace the drive once SMART reports the media has reached that written-data threshold.
