CHIP OnlineSingle testReleaseJanuary 2022

The Kingston KC2500 1TB M.2 SSD does not have PCIe 4.0, but in the test it shows what is still possible with PCIe 3.0. It has some of the highest transfer rates among the PCIe 3.0 SSDs and has the strongest read and write performance overall. With fast access times and a high number of operations per second (iops), the KC2500 1TB can even compete with one or two other SSDs with PCIe 4.0...
