Gen5 runs hot AF so that is probably a big turn off, until someone comea out with a better controller with a better and cooler controller haha.

Main reason is bcoz 1st gen Gen5 SSD controllers are using older silicon tech, 14/12nm. I believe once they transition to 7/5/4nm chips, it will eventually run about the same temps as top Gen4 drives today around 40+C idle.

Hi all. Is it worth to buy 1tb KC3000 for RM320 right now or should wait?

Grab it while you still can. But beware such good deals is 50:50 scam. Dont be surprised if its not genuine (fake branded SSD) or else the seller later just cancels your order with stupid reasons like "no stock". The latter happened to me when Shopee seller typo the price with huge discount.

If you do get it and its genuine, then its your lucky day.

best if op drops a link to it so we can see and judge if it's a scam or not

Hi all. Sorry for the late reply. Its from All IT Hypermarket. This is the link.

https://shopee.com.my/Kingston-KC3000-PCIe-...1b-5de9c0766558

RM387.50 - 58.13(15% off voucher) - 3000 coins = RM299.37.

That is a good price (with vouchers) at current market.

All IT is ok. Shipping out is a bit slow but all good. I bought stuffs from them before.

Yeah its legit. Good deal tho I have never seen a Shopee voucher discount >RM50 before.

play till nothing else to play already, ssd overclocking, https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/...rformance-gains

just briefly after we almost accepted the 'fact' that new pci-e 5.0 ssds must use large heat sinks, sabrent gives us hope, https://www.tweaktown.com/news/95714/sabren...sink/index.html

brief information on intel 15th gen cpus was found in the wild now (well, assuming that the contents of the leak are true):
- supports 1x pci-e 5.0 x16, 1x pci-e 5.0 x4, 1x pci-e 4.0 x4;
- supports native thunderbolt 4 (maybe available for high-end mobos only);
- supports dp 2.0;
- uses lga-1851 socket;
- etc.

.. the total number of native pci-e lanes (cpu + chipset) are still the same.

edit:

basically the combination that fits my planned build do not exist yet. it's what i had in mind in terms of population of ssds vs. pci-e versions. now i should check out more on ram (minimum ddr5-6400), so that i can reuse them when i upgrade. my cpu water block and socket bracket can still be reused.

Just got the last unit from All IT albeit a slightly higher price at 311 after discounts.

UPDATE: Order got cancelled by seller due to no stock

no stock? or they just realize they should sell at higher price

i can see ssd prices keep creeping up. kc3000 2tb from 500 (nov23) > 600 > now 700++

Definitely the latter I assume. Oh well... 😂

Owh sorry to hear that. Exactly what happen to me but a different seller. I didnt think a company as reputable as ALLIT will also do that too. And yeah its more likely they want to sell at a higher price. Track it for a month or so it will suddenly come back at the "adjusted" pricing.

Mind you global SSD prices only just started to rise and expected to go up to 50% more so you might see that 2TB SSD prolly near RM900 would not be a surprise.

bruh, malaysian when it comes to price increase, we will be the first to reach there haha.

as of this writing, the largest ssd capacity is 61.44tb per unit (solidigm d5-p5336, qlc), https://www.tweaktown.com/news/95730/solidi...kets/index.html

Yup, adjusted price updated by them. Now 1TB they have 3 in stock and it's RM468 now. LOL
