SSD Kingston Technology 4096G M.2 2280 NVMe KC3000

Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD combines a Gen 4x4 NVMe controller with 3D TLC NAND to deliver high-capacity, high-performance storage in a compact M.2 2280 form factor. With capacities up to 4096 GB and sequential read/write speeds up to 7,000/7,000 MB/s, it is designed to accelerate demanding workloads such as 3D rendering and 4K+ content creation while fitting into desktops, small-form-factor systems and laptops.

Advantages

The drive provides PCIe 4.0 NVMe performance for very fast sequential transfer rates, a compact M.2 2280 design for flexible installation, and capacities up to 4096 GB to store large project files. A low-profile graphene aluminium heat spreader improves thermal dissipation to help maintain sustained performance under load.

Suitable for

• High-performance desktop PCs and workstations
• Gaming desktops and laptops
• 3D rendering and video editing (4K+ content)
• Small-form-factor (SFF) systems and laptops requiring M.2 2280

How to use

Install the KC3000 into an available M.2 2280 slot on a compatible motherboard or laptop following the system manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the slot supports PCIe NVMe (preferably PCIe 4.0 to obtain maximum performance). Secure the module with the mounting screw, enable the drive in BIOS/UEFI if required, and initialize/format it within your operating system before use.

Recommendations

For best sustained performance, install the SSD in a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot and ensure adequate chassis airflow; for heavy sustained workloads, monitor temperatures and consider motherboards with M.2 heatsinks or maintain the provided low-profile heat spreader.
