Kingston KC2000 1TB SSD Review

In our read throughput test, the 1TB KC2000's performance peaked at 2,708.59MB/s at the 4K block size before slipping back to finish the test run at 2,548.61MB/s.

That 2,708.59MB/s read throughput performance places the KC2000 in the mid-point on our results table.

In our write throughput test, the performance of the drive was very erratic, dropping as low as 21MB/s at the 64KB block size, however the drive recovers very well so at the 256KB block size it reaches 2012.44MB/s. Peak performance comes at the 2MB block size at 2,075.32MB/s before finishing the test run at 2058.32MB/s.

The peak write throughput figure of 2,075.32MB/s is a bit shy of the maximum write speed of 2,200MB/s as quoted by Kingston for the drive.
