4K performance is a bit disappointing
Kingston's KC1000 NVMe SSD is the fastest Kingston SSD drive we have tested and moreover, the price of the NVMe SSD drives are much lower than any other PCIe SSDs present in the market right now and the best part is that all KC1000 SSD drives come with a...
Phenomenal performance, Multiple mounting options, Free disk cloning software included
No heatsink, Less expensive M.2-only version not available
Kingston says that you can expect over twice the performance of a standard SATA SSD, and over 40 times as much speed as a 7200rpm hard drive can manage. Any machine you build around a KC1000 PCIe SSD will boot lightning-fast, and you won't have the usual...
Kingston's KC1000 strikes almost the perfect balance between performance, price and endurance. For this price, the five-year warranty is reassuring and worth the slight trade-off in performance against competitors such as Samsung's 960 EVO, so long as you...

4K performance is a bit disappointing, Kitguru says: Kingston's KC1000 NVMe SSD is the fastest Kingston drive we have tested to date. It combines fast performance and a large capacity with very strong all round endurance, Rating: 8.5, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
It is somewhat of a surprise to find that the fastest Kingston drive we have tested to date doesn't come from the companies high performance HyperX line. The KC1000 is listed under the company's Consumer, Business and System Builder segments. This does ma...
Good performance, MLC NAND for improved write performance and endurance, HHHL and Module options, Up to 960GB capacity options, Acronis True HD cloning software included,
The drive jumps around the chart positions a bit, “The KC1000 is a great comeback from Kingston and it’s one which reminds us what SSDs are all about: Speed.”, We would like to thank, Kingston, for providing us with this sample,
Pricing and AvailabilityThe Kingston KC1000 is available now, or it will be shortly. Which, depends a little bit on where in the world you are located. In the UK, you can order the 480GB version with HHHL adapter that I've tested today for £273.09. The US...
Compact form factor, PCIe adapter included, Uses MLC flash, no write hole, 3-year warranty, Acronis True Image included
A bit more expensive than competing drives, Thermal throttling with heavy writes and no cooling, No heatsink
The Kingston KC1000 240 GB SSD is currently available online for $130. Compact form factor PCIe adapter included Uses MLC flash, no write hole 3-year warranty Acronis True Image included A bit more expensive than competing drives Thermal throttling with h...
The Kingston KC1000 series has solid performance and we were shocked to see that we greatly exceeded the rated speeds on the 960GB model that we tested. Kingston says that the KC1000 960GB drive has up to 2700 MB/s sequential read and 1600 MB/s sequential...
We have to admit we love testing new SSD's with their blazing fast performance and that new hardware burn in smell you get when you really put the benchmarks to a drive. The Kingston KC1000 M.2 480GB NVMe SSD roars in at 2.7GB/s read and 1.6GB/s write whi...
The fastest Kingston drive we've tested to date, Small form factor, Easy to install, 5-year warranty
Runs hot and can cause thermal throttling
Kingston does have a really good drive in the KC1000. All of the Phison E7-based drives we've test this year have been really good and almost all of them we could recommend. The Kingston drive does stand out because it can be had as a normal M.2 drive for...
