2 months in use. Mounting the disk to the board was not difficult, I installed win 11 on it, and I also run a few games from it. Well, all programs are installed here too. Windows starts in about 6 seconds, game loading is very fast, the browser flies.
Kingston - reliable Very fast

2TB is better than 1TB

Compact solid-state drives have long ceased to be a subject of fantasy and have confidently taken their place on store shelves, having overcome many difficulties associated with the growth of production capacities and having become significantly cheaper. Therefore, when assembling a modern gaming PC, there is no point in saving on the volume of the drive, and it is better to immediately choose two TB instead of one. And it is not only about the price: new products from the Call Of Duty, Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield and God Of War Ragnarok series have led to the fact that 150 - 200 GB for a game is completely normal. Among all possible candidates for the title of the best SSD, we chose the Kingston KC3000.

A real bestseller

Despite its age, the KC3000 has deservedly topped the bestseller lists for three years now. It is almost an ideal example of what PCIe 4.0 SSDs should look like: it is based on 176-layer memory from Micron, and the reliable Phison E18 controller provides excellent performance. The use of a full-fledged DRAM buffer allows the drive to confidently handle the transfer of large amounts of data.

Good in everything

In reality, the Kingston KC3000 demonstrates the declared speeds of around 7000 MB/s under load, and 2 GB of buffer memory allow you to copy large amounts of data without any problems, without worrying about a decrease in performance. Thermal throttling controls the SSD temperature and automatically reduces the speed in case of overheating. In addition, encryption of personal data and automatic TRIM cleaning are implemented. As a result, the two-terabyte Kingston KC3000 has an impressive rewriting resource of 1600 TB and a five-year warranty.
