Specifikacije dizajna i hardvera

Kingston KC2500 je solid-state disk koji pruža vrhunske performanse zahvaljujući svom NVMe 1.3 PCI Express Generation 3.0 x4 kontroleru. Proizvođač ga oglašava kao sposoban postići trajne sekvencijalne brzine čitanja/pisanja do 3500/2900 MB/s i nasumične 4K brzine čitanja/pisanja do 375.000/300.000 IOPS ( Input/Output Operations u sekundi^(Second) ). Ove specifikacije vrijede za izdanja ovog pogona od 1 TB i 2 TB. Verzije od 250 GB i 500 GB imaju iste specifikacije osim za sekvencijalne brzine pisanja, koje su niže: 1200 odnosno 2500 MB/s .

Za razliku od PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD diskova, Kingston KC2500 se ne zagrijava toliko, pa nema hladnjak na sebi.

SSD pogon izrađen je pomoću 96-slojnog 3D TLC - a, što mu omogućuje da stane puno prostora za pohranu u malom volumenu (do 2 TB), a da je i dalje energetski učinkovit (maksimalna potrošnja 7 vata prilikom pisanja podataka) i izdržljiv. Zbog ovog izbora ovaj pogon ima 5 godina jamstva.

Osim sirovih performansi, jedna od bitnih stvari po kojima se Kingston KC2500 izdvaja iz gomile je činjenica da je to samošifrirajući pogon. Nudi podršku za end-to-end zaštitu podataka korištenjem XTS-AES 256-bitne hardverske enkripcije i omogućuje korištenje sigurnosnih rješenja od Symantec , McAfee , WinMagic , kao i Microsoftovog ^(Microsoft)BitLockera^(BitLocker) .

Kingston KC2500 SSD koristi faktor oblika M.2 2280 . Drugim riječima, njegova fizička veličina je 80 mm × 22 mm (otprilike 3 × ¾ in). Težina SSD - a je neznatna i neznatno se razlikuje ovisno o kapacitetu pohrane: 250 GB – 8 grama (0,28 oz), 500 GB i 1 TB – 10 grama (0,35 oz), 2 TB – 11 grama (0,39 oz).

Pogledali smo kako Windows 10 vidi ovaj SSD disk. Kao što možete vidjeti na snimci zaslona ispod, operativni sustav izvještava da Kingston KC2500 1 TB SSD zapravo ima 931 GB slobodnog prostora za pohranu kada je formatiran.

Zatim smo željeli vidjeti koliko je Kingston KC2500 brz pri kopiranju velikih datoteka na njega i s njega. Za izvođenje testova koristili smo još jedan PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD - 512 GB ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro - koji teoretski nudi veće brzine čitanja/pisanja. Kopirali smo datoteku od 4 GB s KC2500 s brzinama od oko 1,5 GB u sekundi.

Kopirali smo istu datoteku od 4 GB s Kingstona KC2500^{(Kingston KC2500)} na drugi SDD , s brzinama koje su prelazile 1,6 GB u sekundi. Brzina čitanja KC2500 čak je bolja od brzine pisanja, što je odlično.

Ako vas zanima koliko je brz KC2500 SSD pri podizanju sustava Windows 10 , prosječno vrijeme pokretanja koje smo izmjerili bilo je oko 23 sekunde. Imajte na umu da smo vrijeme pokretanja izmjerili s BootRacerom^(BootRacer) , na čistoj instalaciji Windows 10 Pro .

Kingston KC2500 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD nudi izvrsne performanse u stvarnom svijetu.^{(The Kingston KC2500 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD offers excellent performance in the real world.)}

Performanse u mjerilima

Što bi bila recenzija bez mjerila? Kako bismo dobili bolju predodžbu o tome koliko je brz Kingston KC2500 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD , odlučili smo koristiti CrystalDiskMark . Ovaj softver izvodi nekoliko testova koji procjenjuju sekvencijalne i nasumične brzine čitanja/pisanja SSD -a . Kao što možete vidjeti na sljedećoj snimci zaslona, ​​KC2500 je postigao izvrsne rezultate u svim testovima, koji odgovaraju specifikacijama koje je reklamirao Kingston .

DiskMark mjerilo^(DiskMark) mjerilo je prosječne brzine čitanja i pisanja podataka koje su bile gotovo iste onima kojima smo svjedočili pri premještanju velikih datoteka (u prethodnom odjeljku ove recenzije). Ovi rezultati još jednom potvrđuju da je KC2500 brz SSD .

Konačno, proveli smo i opsežnije testove koje nudi PassMarkov PerformanceTest^{(PassMark's PerformanceTest)} . Mjerenja možete provjeriti na snimci zaslona ispod, gdje možete vidjeti da smo dobili slične rezultate kao i CrystalDiskMark . To nas dovodi do očitog zaključka da KC2500 nudi vrlo velike brzine čitanja i pisanja podataka, te da su vrlo blizu onima koje oglašava Kingston .

Kingston KC2500 je izniman SSD koji uspijeva pružiti vrhunske performanse. Nalazi se na vrhu ljestvice ljestvice PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD diskova. Ako želite velike brzine pohrane i niste prešli na PCIe 4.0, onda je KC2500 izvrstan izbor.^{(The Kingston KC2500 is an exceptional SSD that manages to deliver top-notch performance. It's at the top of the ranking ladder of PCIe 3.0 x4 solid-state drives. If you want fast storage speeds and did not move on to PCIe 4.0, then the KC2500 is an excellent choice.)}

To get the KC2500 solid-state drive out, you need to cut the plastic blister with a pair of scissors. Kingston also bundles a license key for Acronis True Image HD, an app that lets you clone your old drive on the new KC2500 that you've just bought.

The unboxing experience of the Kingston KC2500 NVMe PCIe SSD is quick and straightforward. We appreciate the fact that Kingston also gives you a license for drive cloning software.

Design and hardware specifications

The Kingston KC2500 is a solid-state drive that delivers top-notch performance thanks to its NVMe 1.3 PCI Express Generation 3.0 x4 controller. The manufacturer advertises it as being able to reach sustained sequential read/write speeds of up to 3500/2900 MB/s and random 4K read/write speeds of up to 375,000/300,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second). These specs are valid for the 1 TB and 2 TB editions of this drive. The 250 GB and 500 GB versions have the same specs except for the sequential write speeds, which are lower: 1200 and 2500 MB/s, respectively.

Unlike PCIe 4.0 x4 solid-state drives, the Kingston KC2500 does not heat that much, so it doesn't have a heatsink on it.

The solid-state drive is built using 96-layer 3D TLC, which allows it to fit a lot of storage capacity in a small volume (up to 2 TB), while still being power efficient (7 watts maximum consumption, when writing data) and durable. Due to this choice, this drive has a 5-year warranty.

Besides raw performance, one of the essential things that make the Kingston KC2500 stand out from the crowd is the fact that it is a self-encrypting drive. It offers support for end-to-end data protection using XTS-AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption, and lets you use security solutions from Symantec, McAfee, WinMagic, as well as Microsoft's BitLocker.

The Kingston KC2500 SSD uses the M.2 2280 form factor. In other words, its physical size is 80 mm × 22 mm (roughly 3 × ¾ in). The weight of the SSD is insignificant and differs slightly depending on the storage capacity: 250 GB – 8 grams (0.28 oz), 500 GB, and 1 TB – 10 grams (0.35 oz), 2 TB – 11 grams (0.39 oz).

The specifications of the Kingston KC2500 show that it is one of the fastest PCIe 3.0 x4 solid-state drives that you can find on the market. It looks like an excellent choice for anyone who's looking for top-notch performance, but also security thanks to its hardware-based encryption.

Using the Kingston KC2500 NVMe PCIe SSD

We used and tested the Kingston KC2500 SSD on a desktop computer with the following configuration:

• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
• Memory: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory (2 x 8GB, 3200MHz)
• Graphics Card: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro x64 with November 2019 Update

We looked at how Windows 10 sees this solid-state drive. As you can see in the screenshot below, the operating system reports that the Kingston KC2500 1 TB SSD actually has 931 GB of storage space available when formatted.

Then, we wanted to see how fast the Kingston KC2500 is when copying large files to and from it. To run the tests, we used another PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD - a 512 GB ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro - which theoretically offers higher read/write speeds. We copied a 4 GB file from the KC2500 with speeds that were about 1.5 GB per second.

We copied the same 4 GB file from the Kingston KC2500 to the other SDD, with speeds that went above 1.6 GB per second. The read speed of the KC2500 is even better than the write speed, which is great.

If you're curious about how fast the KC2500 SSD is when booting Windows 10, the average boot time we measured was about 23 seconds. Note that we measured the boot time with BootRacer, on a clean Windows 10 Pro installation.

The Kingston KC2500 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD offers excellent performance in the real world.

Performance in benchmarks

What would a review be without benchmarks? To get a better idea of how fast the Kingston KC2500 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD is, we decided to use CrystalDiskMark. This software runs several tests that evaluate the sequential and random read/write speeds of the SSD. As you can see in the next screenshot, the KC2500 obtained excellent results in all the tests, matching the specs advertised by Kingston.

The DiskMark benchmark measured average data read and write speeds that were almost the same as those we witnessed when moving large files (in the previous section of this review). These results confirm once more that the KC2500 is a fast SSD.

Finally, we also ran the more extensive tests offered by PassMark's PerformanceTest. You can check the measurements in the screenshot below, where you can see that we got similar results to those from CrystalDiskMark. That brings us to the obvious conclusion that the KC2500 offers very fast data read and write speeds, and that they're very close to those advertised by Kingston.

The Kingston KC2500 is an exceptional SSD that manages to deliver top-notch performance. It's at the top of the ranking ladder of PCIe 3.0 x4 solid-state drives. If you want fast storage speeds and did not move on to PCIe 4.0, then the KC2500 is an excellent choice.

Bundled software

Kingston does not bundle an SSD toolbox software that you could use to check the health of the SSD or see information about it. However, it offers a license to use Acronis True Image HD. This cloning app lets you copy an old drive on the KC2500 SSD that you've just installed on your computer. You can download it from here, and you can find the license key on a small card that is inside the SSD's plastic blister.

We would have liked to see an SSD health and monitoring app offered by Kingston for the KC2500 SSD. Unfortunately, there is no such app bundled. However, the cloning software that you do get from Acronis is useful as it lets you quickly move your old drive onto your new KC2500 SSD in a couple of minutes.

Are you interested in buying a Kingston KC2500 NVMe PCIe SSD?

As you've seen, the Kingston KC2500 is one of the fastest PCIe Express 3.0 M.2 NVMe solid-state drives available on the market right now. Are you interested in buying one? Would you go for the 1 TB or 2 TB versions, or are you OK with smaller capacities like 256 or 512 GB? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let's talk about this storage drive.
