Ugly white sticker across the front
Doesn't seem to fully utilise the SM 2262EN controller
Peak speeds lower than competition
Not a huge improvement over A2000
4K QD2 reads a little disappointing in our tests
Kitguru says
Kingston's KC2000 makes good use of the latest 96-layer 3D NAND technology
Combining it with the latest controller from Silicon Image to produce not only the fastest M.2 NVMe Kingston drive

Abstract: The KC2000 IS built for those who Kingston calls “power users” – workstation owners, PC professionals and anyone else who needs the full collection of speed, features and power. Provided they're willing to pay a little more for it, of course.Indeed, the...

Abstract: Kingston are well known for making storage, especially amazing value SSDs like their 2.5” A400 drive I've used before, but their newest NVME offering doesn't quite pack the punch I was hoping for. It costs £144 for the 1TB model I have, comes in 250GB, 50...

Peak speeds lower than competition, Not a huge improvement over A2000
Kingston's high-performance KC2000 arrived on the market as one of the first M.2 SSDs to carry 96-layer 3D TLC. Such an accolade initially resulted in inflated price tags that prevented the drive from standing out alongside existing competitors such as th...

4K QD2 reads a little disappointing in our tests, Kitguru says: Kingston's KC2000 makes good use of the latest 96-layer 3D NAND technology, combining it with the latest controller from Silicon Image to produce not only the fastest M.2 NVMe Kingston drive
Sitting under the company's business and consumer banners, Kingston's KC2000 drive is the second one we've seen that uses 96-layer 3D NAND but the first to be readily available, as the first 96-layer drive, Toshiba's XG6 is an OEM part.Where the Toshiba d...
There are lots of things to like in the KC2000, a product that addresses many of the limitations of its predecessor and is also very competitively priced.For anyone moving from a SATA connected SSD, the performance boost of this technology is dramatic, as...
Decent performance, Good TBW rating (in line with others), 5-year warranty, Free technical support
Faster drives available for the same, or less money, Ugly white sticker across the front, Doesn't seem to fully utilise the SM 2262EN controller
Focussing on the graphs, the performance often doesn't quite live up to the quoted speeds in Kingston's own specifications, which is a shame, particularly so considering previous showings of the SM 2262EN controller, particularly on the XPG SX8200 Pro. Ho...
Fastest SSD we ever tested (after firmware update), Competitively priced, Fantastic sustained write performance, Very good random IOPS performance, Large SLC cache, 2 TB version available, Five-year warranty, Compact form factor
Firmware update required for best performance, Price is a little bit high, Some thermal throttling, a heatsink would be nice
The 1 TB Kingston KC2000 SSD is currently listed online for $185. Fastest SSD we ever tested (after firmware update) Competitively priced Fantastic sustained write performance Very good random IOPS performance Large SLC cache 2 TB version available Five-...
High quality, High performance, Available in high capacity, up to 2TB, Reasonable price, 5-year warranty, Acronis True Image HD key included
Nothing worth to mention,
The Kingston KC2000 is one of the most interesting SSD options available on the market, especially if you are looking for fast storage for daily work. Regardless if it's for work or entertainment (like computer games), it should easily meet your expectati...
Very good overall performance, 5-year warranty, 256-bit AES hardware encryption, Kingston SSD software
Other Gen3 drives are faster, We did notice some throttling, Pricing could be more competitive
Kingston has done a good job combining the newer 96-layer 3D TLC NAND flash with Silicon Motion's SM2262EN controller. The KC2000 provides some great performance, but at least in our testing it did fall a little short of the 3200 MB/s read and 2200 MB/s w...

The Kingston KC2000 SSD -- Find Them At AmazonKingston has clearly tuned the KC2000 for typical, consumer desktop workloads. The drive offers relatively strong performance at low queue depths, with competitive sequential transfers and quick access laten...
