Abstract: We may be just months away from seeing the very first PCIe 5.0 (Gen 5) M.2 NVMe SSDs make their debut in the market (with theoretical speeds that could reach 15000MB/s) but for now PCIe 4.0 (Gen 4) models are clearly the fastest consumer oriented storage...

The Kingston KC3000 we tested is a fantastic NVMe SSD that's fast via PCIe 3 or 4. As mentioned, it's pretty much a pick 'em with the Corsair MP600 Pro XT and Seagate FireCuda 530. Base your decision on price, TBW, warranty, availability, or which company...

Even though the KC3000 didn't win out over its E18 competition in every single benchmark, it did win enough times. It set enough lab records along the way that we feel comfortable in saying that it is overall the best-performing E18 based SSD we've tested...
