Capacity and Interface

The Kingston KC3000 SKC3000D/4096G is a 4096GB internal SSD built for consumer workloads that demand high throughput. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe link driven by a Phison E18 controller with 4GB of DRAM cache. 3D TLC memory supports the rated endurance of 3.2PBW and an MTBF of 1,800,000 hours.

Thermals and Power

A low profile graphene aluminum heat spreader is fitted to the drive to manage temperatures during operation. The controller is specified to run between 0°C and +70°C. Power draw measures 5 mW at idle, 0.36W average active, 2.7W maximum read and 10.2W maximum write, keeping energy use low for a high performance NVMe device.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous heavy write workloads the heat spreader helps the controller maintain performance without rapid throttling. The drive is rated for 1,000,000 IOPS random read and write alongside 7000 MBps sequential read and write, figures that reflect steady state capability rather than short burst peaks. Vibration resistance is rated at 2.17G peak operating and 20G peak non operating.

Highlights

  • Up to 7000 MBps sequential read speeds for rapid data access
  • Up to 7000 MBps sequential write speeds for fast file transfers
  • 4GB DRAM cache enables sustained high throughput
  • 2PBW endurance rating supports heavy write workloads
  • 1,800,000 hours MTBF indicates long-term reliability

Questions about this item

Will the drive fit in a standard M.2 2280 slot with the heat spreader installed?

Yes. The low-profile graphene aluminum heat spreader keeps the drive at 3.50 mm height, which is within the standard M.2 2280 single-sided clearance.

Does the drive need a motherboard with PCIe 4.0 to reach the quoted speeds?

It will run on PCIe 3.0 slots, but the 7000 MBps sequential and 1,000,000 IOPS random figures require a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe connection.

Is the 4 GB DRAM cache used for mapping or user data?

The 4 GB DRAM cache stores the NVMe mapping tables, which sustains the 7000 MBps write speed and 3.2 PBW endurance rating.
