wonderful model, really honored

2 months in use. Mounting the disk to the board was not difficult, I installed win 11 on it, and I also run a few games from it. Well, all programs are installed here too. Windows starts in about 6 seconds, game loading is very fast, the browser flies.
Kingston - reliable Very fast
Didn't notice

Installed in PC with Z690 Prime board. Praque is wonderful. Dobre scho radiator on the board, more disk warms up kinder. In the middle ten, 50 degrees, but when recording great communications of information, I can go to throttling.
Reading speed, TLC memory, Dramovsky cache.
Warm up kinder, I won’t put everything in the laptop as soon as possible

IMHO, Kingston has proven itself as a reliable memory manufacturer.

Excellent SSD 1 TB Kingston KC3000. I've been using it for the second year since I upgraded my PC to MSI Z790. It works fast, neither the motherboard nor the SSD has ever glitched. (Unlike the 500 GB Samsung on my previous PC, which didn't last even half a year, but the official Samsung service center then called the numerous disk failures non-warranty. Had to avoid dealing with this brand anymore). But Kingston is stable!
High operating speed, full use of the system bus. High reliability (in addition to the SSD, I also use several flash drives from Kingston — I haven't noticed any failures with them either). I recommend it to everyone.
In 2026, the price almost doubled, which does not correspond to the value of a regular drive that has been developed and produced for several years. The reasons are known — in the insatiable consumption of memory. We will likely be periodically haunted by waves of greed (such as mining, AI, or they will come up with another reason for shortage and price increases).
