many thnaks for the shake down. As an FYI for others; 2023 Feb_Kingstyon KC3000 1TB are now sub 80GBP which is pretty amazing drop over the time you reviewed. The KING in value atm comparable for speeds to like for like competitors such as: Samsung 980 PRO 110GBP, WD Black SN850x 106GBP., Crucial P5 87GBP (as smidge slower r/w)....so blooming well done Kingston for this well priced and performing Nvme M.2 As a new install I achieved benchmark /CrystalDiskmark ratings 3-5% above the 7000 read/write figures quoted by Kingston. Not that one can tell in the real world but just nice to know. ALSO Don't dispose of the blister packaging (which is a truly awful way to wrap these btw) as apparently it has a free cloning software licence contained within (not that I can 100% confirm tho as I tossed mine before I found this out, so you need to verify yourself)

Crazy how things change in the shortest time. Right now we have the first PC title with direct storage and the game loads in 1 second from the main menu! Also the price has dropped to 100€ for the KC3000. I bought one, slapped on a generic passive cooler and running it on a PCI Gen3 mobo it does not exceed 35°C. Of course the speeds are around 3000 so it's basically running at half speed since the gen3 platform I'm using!

I'm in the opposite situation :). I have Gen4 free slot, but decided to buy 2TB Gen3 drive on flash sale for about 80EUR. In real life advantage of Gen4 is really rarely visible. Highest speeds are obtained mostly....in tests and only under some circumstances in real life, mostly in queue. When you try copy large file, you'll see that your GEn4 drive performes way below Gen4 specs and provides speeds similar to best Gen3 drives. The only big reason for buying Gen4 instead is that they are newer and have higher IOPS parameters, which improves managing large number of small files, but again it's not so spectacular difference in real life (altough you may see spectacular differences in synthetic test).

On paper it looks like a big difference, but in the real world it's only a few seconds. I thought that when I put NVME instead of an ordinary SSD, it would make a big difference, but it didn't. It's a bit faster, but nothing I couldn't live without. The only thing that is really better is that there are no cables, so the PC looks neater

Not necessarily comparable - I was timing how long it took to launch Steam Big Picture so not just the time to get to desktop. BIOS POST time can also be a factor. But yes, some of my point is that in most tasks a fast SSD doesn't make a huge difference.

Unless you have a very recent laptop it's unlikely it supports PCIe 4.0 anyway. Higher performance SSDs tend to use more power and produce more heat so I'd generally stick to 3.0 for laptops for now.

The other videos out there of the KC3000 are getting less than advertised speeds I'm getting over 7200mb/s reads 7000mb/s writes must just be silicon lottery
@BrueComputing2 жыл бұрын
Nothing to do with silicon lottery, it depends how you set it up - I got these speeds connecting it to the main M.2 slot on my board which connects direct to the CPU. The second PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot on my mainboard is connected to the chipset, which then has a PCIe 4.0 4x link between chipset and CPU. In this scenario you are sharing bandwidth with other devices attached to the chipset and it topped out at up to 6400MB/sec.

This video is irrelevant. You're comparing 2 different drives. That's it. You're not comparing Gen3 to Gen4. You should do a comparison with the same SSD in gen3 and gen4 configuration to answer the question: " Are PCIe 4.0 SSDs worth it?"
@BrueComputing Жыл бұрын
The comparison is between a premium priced PCIe 4.0 device and a low-cost PCIe 3.0 device, and shows that actually you gained relatively little (at the time of testing) from a more expensive PCIe 4.0 SSD in anything other than raw file transfer speeds. What you're suggesting would also have been interesting in a way, but really would just have given the expected result of capping transfers to PCIe 3.0 speeds and then obvious answer that there is no reason to spend extra on a PCIe 4.0 SSD to fit in a 3.0 slot makes no sense.

there is NO SOFTWARE; kingston have been desonest making belive it it have Acronis. Fraude. The code doasn't work, you have to pay for this clone software that isnt bether than any other 3th party cloning soft. that I have end up using on this 1tb ssd. Also, and this is worst, the downloadable software in Kingston sight for optimization of the ssd nvme KC3000 do not work AT ALL. I bought this nvme for its TBW but I suspect doe to the lack of honesty of Kingston that it is also fake. Whitout optimization software it is not much or at all faster than any other gen 3 nvme. At least mine isnt. Buy at youre own risk.
