128KB Sequential Performance

Kingston's official Sequential performance figures for the drive are up to 3,200MB/s for reads and up to 2,200MB/s for writes. We could confirm both these maximum figures with our Sequential tests, the review drive producing a peak read figure of 3,272.87 MB/s (QD4) and 2,512.39MB/s peak (QD16) for writes.

128KB Sequential Read Performance v QD Compared

At a QD of 1, Kingston's KC2000 drive out performs the Toshiba XG6, the other 96-layer equipped drive in our results chart but as the queue depth deepens, the two drives performance becomes much closer.

128KB Sequential Write Performance v QD Compared

The write performance of the KC2000 remains pretty consistent as the queue depth deepens.
