The Kingston KC3000 512GB (SKC3000S/512G) is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD for gaming PCs, workstations and laptops that need fast loading and smooth handling of large files. It pairs a Phison E18 eight-channel controller with 3D TLC NAND and 512MB of DDR4 cache, delivering sequential speeds of up to 7,000MB/s read and 3,900MB/s write, so games, 4K video projects, 3D rendering and big software installs open and save quickly. A low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader keeps temperatures in check under sustained load without adding bulk, and the single-sided M.2 2280 design (80 x 22 x 2.21mm) fits most modern motherboards and many laptops. Data is protected by LDPC error correction and hardware AES 256-bit encryption, and the drive is rated for 400TB written (TBW) and 1.8 million hours MTBF. In the box is the SSD itself, backed by Kingston's 5-year limited warranty. It is also backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots at reduced speed.
