To meet the needs of users looking to upgrade their systems, Kingston has introduced their latest KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and Kingston DDR5 ValueRAM (KVR) RAM module.
KC3000 SSD
Designed for consumer use around applications like 3D rendering and 4K+ content creation, the M.2 2280 form factor KC3000 SSD offers what Kingston calls “next-level performance” by using the latest Gen 4×4 NVMe controller and 3D TLC NAND.
Using a PCIe 4.0 motherboard, internal testing has the KC3000 delivering speeds up to 7,000MB/s and 7,000MB/s for read and write respectively and can deliver these speeds at full capacities up to the highest capacity module of 4096GB.
| KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD | ||
| Part Number | Capacity | Read/Write |
| SKC3000S/512G | 4096GB KC3000 | 7,000/3,900MB/s |
| SKC3000S/1024G | 1024GB KC3000 | 7,000/6,000MB/s |
| SKC3000D/2048G | 2048GB KC3000 | 7,000/7,000MB/s |
| SKC3000D/4096G | 4096GB KC3000 | 7,000/7,000MB/s |
Kingston DDR5 ValueRAM
The Kingston DDR5 ValueRAM ships in single 16GB modules and kits of two at 4,800MHz speeds. It features onboard Power Management Integrate Circuits (PMIC), which helps to regulate the power required by various components of the memory module and enable better power distribution. This in turn improves signal integrity and reduce noise for enhanced reliability and efficiency.
Pricing and availability
According to Kingston, the Kingston ValueRAM DDR5 will be available in Singapore from 12 November while the KC3000 SSD will be available from 25 November on Kingston’s official store on Lazada. They say that pricing will be available then.
