Kingston KC3000 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Kingston SKC3000S/512G is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive that adds 512GB of high speed storage to any compatible desktop, workstation, or laptop. It is designed for users who need quick boot times, rapid application launches, and reliable performance when every second counts.

By combining a Phison E18 controller with 3D TLC NAND flash, the drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 3,900 MB/s. These numbers translate into noticeably smoother workflows, whether you are transferring large project files, installing expansive game libraries, or loading complex software suites.

Creative professionals can scrub through 4K and even 8K footage with fewer pauses, developers can compile massive code bases faster, and gamers can jump into demanding titles with minimal loading screens. The consistent performance also makes the drive a smart choice for small form factor systems where both speed and thermal efficiency are important.

Installation is simple because the drive uses the M.2 2280 format. It slides directly into an available NVMe slot on most modern motherboards, eliminating cable clutter. With no moving parts, the drive runs quietly and helps keep overall system temperatures in check. Kingston backs the KC3000 with a five year limited warranty, giving you extra peace of mind for daily workloads.
