Product Information

It's one of the rare internal SSDs that comes in capacities up to 4TB, though the largest size costs more per gigabyte than the lower capacities. But the parts I received were perfect and delivered very well in great packaging and it wasn't too expensive.

The KC3000 lacks the AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption found in the ADATA S70 Blade and MSI M480 HS. MT/s is the accurate measure for DDR SDRAM memory transfers that happen on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle, not MHz. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .Comparing the benchmark result screens we can see that the Phison E18 controller that powers the Kingston KC3000 is much more efficient when reading compressible sequential and especially 4K random data at a queue depth of 1. All PC-related content is welcome, including build help, tech support, and any doubt one might have about PC ownership. That said, you pay considerably more per gigabyte (about a quarter) for the Kingston than you would for the 4TB Sabrent Rocket Q4, which sells for 17 cents a gig, or the 4TB Mushkin Delta, which is just 13 cents per gigabyte. Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors.

It generally did well in our benchmarks—particularly in PCMark 10, which measures a drive's speed in everyday tasks such as loading different programs—though poorly in the AS-SSD benchmarks that involve transferring folders of small files. As part of our RGB series of gaming PCs this unit comes with a fully controllable RGB lighting system which allows you to change the colour of your fans and LED strips with nearly infinite variations, all from the convenience of a remote control unit.ATTO and CrystalDiskMark (CDM) are free and easy-to-use storage benchmarking tools that SSD vendors use to assign performance specifications to their products. Switching over to the Peak Performance test profile we see the drive in second place in the results chart behind Patriot's Viper VP4300 drive with its read score of 7,384MB/s. com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services.

Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers is a free real-world game benchmark that easily and accurately compares game load times without the inaccuracy of using a stopwatch. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. We copy 31,227 files of various types, such as pictures, PDFs, and videos to a new folder and then follow-up with a reading test of a newly-written 6. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. With formidable speeds, it ensures improved workflow in high-performance desktop and laptop PCs making it ideal for power users who require the fastest speeds on the market.

I've also written a host of articles about astronomy, space science, travel photography, and astrophotography for PCMag and its past and present sibling publications (among them, Mashable and ExtremeTech), as well as for the PCMag Digital Edition.
