    This review is about the capacity: 1024 GB

    Very good. Windows 11 and 3 games (BF 2042, Diablo IV & Jedi Survivor) are a little below half capacity (953 GB net). Very fast and temperatures from 30 to 38. It has been installed in the MSI Pro B760-P DDR4 II.

    One of the best options available right now. In terms of speed, it delivers what it promises, doesn't heat up much, is stable and reliable, with a long lifespan and warranty. If you find it <= 0.06 €/GB, it's worth it.

  • I just installed it in a 2016 Dell Optiplex PC.
    The PC already had a 256Gb Sata SSD running Windows 10.
    It was upgraded to Windows 11 and runs Autocad 2022.
    The performance is excellent.
    But the cooler needs a thermal pad when doing large file transfers.
    Makes sense.
    With Crystal Disk Mark, it gives me about the speeds it advertises for sequential write and read (which is basically x6 what I had with the old - 2019 - SSD)

    Very good! It does what it promises! I got it for games but also for 4k video. Price is quite good for what it offers. It remains to be seen how it holds up over time. One of the best choices in 2TB.

    Purchased before the market increase, at 115€/2TB. I use it on pci-e 4.0 and it has the speeds it advertises. The software they give you to copy the old hard drive and make a mirror worked flawlessly. It has 2gb dram so the speeds don't drop.

    This review is about the capacity: 1024 GB

    The major NAND Flash manufacturers have decided to increase their prices, resulting in SSD prices reaching the stratosphere. Already the prices are outrageous and they will continue to rise. The only thing you can do is hold off on buying SSDs in order to exert some pressure and MAYBE the prices will drop.

    Now, about this specific one. At the 60-65 euros that you could find it a few months ago, I had nothing but good things to say. Fast and reliable. However, the price of 105 euros that it is currently going for is at the very least ridiculous for a disk without a cooling system. Now, if you still want to buy a disk, this one is known as a very good choice. However, at 109 euros (which is also very expensive compared to previous prices), you can find Corsair SSDs with a heatsink that keeps the disk cool and allows for consistently better performance and lifespan. Get it before it reaches 130 euros.

    It was purchased to replace a WD SN850 500GB that had SMART errors and was sent to WD headquarters for replacement.

    The KC3000 is as fast as it promises, it is my second Kingston (I also have a Fury 4TB) and after the failures of some Samsung and now WD, I probably won't be switching from this company.

    I bought the Kingston KC3000 2TB for Playstation 5.

    Since the drive does not have a built-in cooler, I also bought the Be Quiet Cooling For M.2 SSD MC1.
    https://www.skroutz.gr/s/28521992/Be-Quiet-Cooling-For-M-2-SSD-MC1.html

    The drive reaches the promised speeds and is considered one of the best for the console according to the review on Toms Hardware.
    https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-ps5-ssds

    At €144, the price is relatively good. It could have been more affordable since it doesn't have a cooler.

    If you plan to upgrade the storage space of your Playstation 5, it's good to take a look at it.

    When it transferred or read data, it would produce an error and disappear from the computer as an SSD. Replacement within one day from the website. If I had known, I would have gone for cheaper ones from the beginning.

    I bought it for an operating system disk and also created a second partition for my games. Previously, I had the KC2500. The disk is very fast, it has a big difference from the previous one (which is also very good). I used my motherboard's cooler and its temperatures, under heavy load, did not exceed 60 degrees. Recommended (104€ for 2TB)

    This review is about the capacity: 1024 GB

    Changed my Samsung 980 and it runs on operating system etc pcie 4.0 with x3 Crucial MX 500 2tera sataIII.

    Finally found the duo I was looking for.

    Games/music/FL studio/rendering/photo editing software is user-friendly and the drivers firmware are perfect so far.

    No complaints about the speed, it has only dropped 2% in the past 6 months with 14/24 hours of daily use.

    In recent years, Kingston had disappointed me a bit in terms of disks, speeds, etc... but with this little disk, it has earned my respect again.

    Normal temperature, my motherboard had a cooler and overall, my tower has 12 + 2 fans along with the CPU cooler. The case was non-RGB except for the 2 RAM sticks.

    I hope it withstands the test of time.

    I recommend it

    It reaches the advertised speeds, but you will also need a cooler to avoid throttling issues and, in general, it is advisable not to operate at high temperatures in order to withstand long-term use.
    Before connecting it to the motherboard, I placed it in a case to transfer about 300GB of data. At around halfway, it reached 70°C and started throttling, then crashed. When I installed it on the motherboard, which has a cooler on the socket, it operates at around 25°C at idle and during file transfers, it did not exceed 35°C!
    So, if your motherboard does not have a cooler on the m.2 socket, spend an additional 10€ and get a cooler. You won't regret it and it will add to the lifespan expectancy.

    I have been very satisfied with this specific M.2. Very powerful speeds. Its temperature is at 50C with full PC operation (located right above the GPU). It is a beast in both video editing and gaming. At the price of 80€ that I got it, it's a no-brainer to get it with closed eyes.

    This review is about the capacity: 1024 GB

    Bought at a very good price...70€. First of all, I should mention that it's the first nvme drive I've installed, so just the fact that it doesn't take up as much space as the other drives gets it 5 stars. As for performance, it's very fast in read and write speeds, although I'm using it on a gen 3 motherboard, so my expectations are lower. However, I was expecting to see a difference in the loading time of Windows, which I didn't see at all and was a bit disappointed.

    Owner for about 2 weeks now, everything is fine so far, if anything comes up I will come back.
    Considered High-End NVMe in the same category as Kingston Fury and Samsung 980/990 Pro.
    I was looking at the Solidigm P44 Pro but it is too expensive and unnecessary for my usage case (gaming).
    Long-term will show if I did well and got it, for now everything is okay.

    I bought it for the ps5 and it was priced at around 6500, so it's compatible and faster than the recommended one. The copying process went smoothly and at high speeds through the console's operating system. Games load quickly, just like with the internal disk, but the difference is that this disk is faster in writing compared to the internal one.

    Works like a PCIe 3 due to the processor (5700g), although the mobo (Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite) supports X4. I knew that before purchasing. Very good and at a good price.

    Selected for the Z790 platform with a 13900k for use as cache in Premiere PRO. It proved to be significantly more powerful than other well-known options, as you can see in many international reviews that characterize it as "The Fastest Flash You Can Get", and you can see its result here: https://tinyurl.com/kingston2tb

    If AES Encryption is not important to you and a 5-year warranty is sufficient, then there is no other option at this price point.

    I've had it for a month, it has incredible speed, Windows 10 pro opens almost instantly, so fast that I haven't had time to press DEL to enter UEFI BIOS!!
