While Computex is happening today, Kingston announced their brand new KC1000 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD ahead of time. The Kingston KC1000 does offer something special for those who are willing to pay the price for it – and here’s what it does. The Kingston KC1000 however, has a Phison PS5007-E7 controller with MLC NAND flash.
As for the rated read and write speeds, the Kingston KC1000’s 240GB variant can go up to 2700/900MB/s for read/write speeds, whereas the 480GB and 960GB can go up to a speedy 2700/1600MB/s read/write speeds. That’s seriously insane. Comes with a full 5-year warranty by Kingston too!
With more and more storage manufacturers bringing in NVMe SSDs into the market, I can see that they’re pretty much gaining more mainstream attention now. However, they’re still way too expensive, and demand for NAND flash chips are at an all-time high now to the point that it affected RAM prices. Which is weird, because I have no idea why Toshiba’s Flash Memory business is having trouble now.
Here’s the full list of specs from Kingston themselves.
