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: This is a touch out of the usual coverage I do here on TechPowerUp, but somehow things worked in a specific manner that led to this article you are now reading. For one, there were multiple inquiries from companies about security products in the portable...

Up to 2 TB capacities, Excellent real-world performance,
the Kingston KC2000 NVMe SSD is a decent choice when choosing the right SSD for your system.We Love:+ Up to 2 TB capacities+ Excellent real-world performanceWe Hate:- NoneFinal Rating:4/5...
Kingston delivers a powerful and high capacity entry into the M.2 world with the KC2000 SSD. The 3.2/2.2 GB/s read and writes (respectively) bring raw performance to desktops and workstations. Capacities up to 2TB make sure you never run short of space bu...
Abstract: The world of SATA based SSD's is slowly coming to a close with the raw speed and performance of PCIe based drives falling to near price parity. The benefit is radically increased bandwidth, up to about 6x the raw speed and some drives are so small they ca...

Kingston is a well-known and high-volume SSD brand, but they have not had much of an impact on the high-end segment of the market. The Kingston KC2000 is much better try than several other enthusiast-oriented SSDs we've seen from them. On paper, the KC200...

Snappy in almost all of our benchmark tests, Has 256-bit AES self-encryption features, Strong durability rating,
Not as cost-effective as some competing drives in the space, Ho-hum 4K writes
The Kingston KC2000 is a no-doubt-fast PCI Express NVMe SSD with robust security features. The speed-to-value calculus favors a few other 3D TLC and QLC drives, but it remains a strong competitor...

Overall performance is satisfying and quick, Self Encryption is a great value add, Sustained performance is respectable, Priced well for its features and performance
Falls behind in peak performance to slightly more expensive drives, Black PCB design is hidden by a distracting sticker
The Kingston KC2000 1TB NVMe SSD proved itself to be a very competent contender in the NVMe space and is a much better option for overall performance than their A1000 lineup for not a whole lot more money. This drive isn't aimed squarely at the gaming and...

Not having tested the KC1000 model released last year puts us in a slight disadvantage since we can't directly compare the new KC2000 to it. Still judging by the NAND flash controller used (8-channel Phison PS5007-E7) and also by what Kingston...
