KINGSTON KC3000 4TB NVME M.2 Gen4 Internal Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Kingston KC3000 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (model SKC3000D-4096G) is a high-capacity internal solid-state drive engineered for demanding desktop and laptop workloads. Built on a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, the KC3000 harnesses the bandwidth of the Gen 4x4 controller paired with 3D TLC NAND flash to deliver sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s — a significant step up from previous-generation NVMe drives. This makes it well suited for workflows that demand fast, sustained storage throughput, such as 3D rendering, video editing, and large-file data processing. The drive adopts the compact M.2 2280 form factor, meaning it slots into the standard M.2 slot found in most modern motherboards and slim laptops. A low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader is integrated into the design to assist with thermal dissipation during sustained operation, helping maintain consistent performance under load. Random 4K performance reaches up to 1,000,000 IOPS for both read and write operations at the 4TB capacity, making the KC3000 capable of handling multitasking environments and application loading with low latency. The drive operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and is rated to withstand operating shock of up to 1,000 G, alongside operating vibration tolerance of 2.17 GRMS and non-operating vibration tolerance of 3.13 GRMS — providing confidence in both transport and everyday use. Power consumption is modest at 0.1 W active and 0.040 W idle, keeping system thermal load in check even in thermally constrained small-form-factor builds.
