Kingston KC2500 SKC2500M8/500G 500 GB
 | Outdated Product $119.42 High-performance internal M.2 SSD of considerable capacity (512 GB) with PCI-E Gen3 x4 interface Designed as a frameless 2280 form factor device. It demonstrates a high degree of compatibility with current models of motherboards equipped with M.2 Socket 3 (M key). It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, intended for use as part of personal computers, compact PCs and HTPC systems. It can be used to complete stationary or mobile workstations that require access time and speed of disk operations. The hardware basis of the M.2 SSD-drive Kingston KC2500 SKC2500M8 / 500G was a performant 8-channel Silicon Motion SM2262NE controller with a 512 MB DDR3 DRAM buffer. Toshiba BiCS4 3D TLC NAND 96-layer flash memory has increased wear resistance. The device supports high-speed SLC...write caching and demonstrates impressive read / write speeds of 3500/2500 MB / s. Such characteristics are quite enough for impressively fast loading of the operating system, resource-intensive professional applications and heavy modern games. The guaranteed resource claimed by the manufacturer (300 TB) is enough for a daily recording of 80 GB of information for 10 years. |

Work on bugs
At the beginning of 2020, Kingston presented a new solid-state drive KC2500, which replaced the rather successful Kingston KS2000 model. The company calls it "work on the bugs" — while maintaining the same volumes, the new product shows the best results in terms of performance and work with the temperature regime.
Rocket ready to take off
Judging by the passport data, Kingston engineers managed to achieve the optimal combination of performance and long service life in the new SSDs, while the compact M.2 2280 form factor saves space for other system components and allows you to take advantage of the PCI-E interface. Thanks to the new SMI 2262EN controller and 96-layer 3D TLC NAND memory, the sequential read speed of information reaches 3500 MB / s, the sequential write speed is 2500 MB / s, IOPS for writing 300K, for reading 375K. Such dexterity in handling files is close to the top level, only SSD on the new PCI-E 4 bus is faster than the KC2500 (though only on paper) and proven solutions from Samsung. And here there is a small problem, the long-tested 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO can now be bought even cheaper than the KC2500, so we expect that the price will drop a little soon.
Protected data
The manufacturer pays special attention to the use of the drive as part of workstations and even high-performance systems. Therefore, like its predecessor, the KC2500 supports self-encryption and a complete security package for end-to-end data protection using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. This allows you to leverage TCG Opal 2.0 security management solutions from Symantec, McAfee, and WinMagic. Additional confidence in data protection is provided by a five-year warranty from the manufacturer.
