Kingston KC2500 NVMe SSD 1TB Review

The best 4K random write figure we got from the drive with our 4-threaded testing was 217,184 IOPS, a fair way off the official maximum for the drive of 300.000 IOPS. Once again we did a quick test at a QD of 32 and 8 threads and got a result of 392,573 IOPS, somewhat better than that official figure.

4K Random Write v QD Performance Compared

At a QD of 1, the KC2500 outperforms the previous KC2000 by a fair margin. However, once the queue depth starts deepening, the drive drops below the KC2000.
