Not cheap enough. Check below

No I think even at 85% full its ady throttling write speed. So try limit to 80% full and see again. If still throttle, go down to 75% full and try again. Once you know where is the limit, partition the extra space and yeah make it w/o drive letter. The SSD will use that for write buffer cache.

Thats quite lousy thermal paste though. For the price you could get far superior TF7 (beats Kryonaut)

Haha, that's just Lazada’s suggested add-on—definitely not going for that!

I’ve switched my loyalty to the PTM7950. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be going back to thermal paste anytime soon!

Consumer 3D Nand SSD price decline

reason why we are seeing price cuts for Gen4 SSDs recently. some 2tb price (with vouchers) are almost as low as last year's price.

Already under RM500 for 2TB?

sHawTY shared kc3000 2tb RM490. close to last year's price.

The price decline was only announced recently, so I highly doubt it will take effect that quickly in Malaysia.
You know, I know.
That promo was only valid during 10.10.
We'll have to wait for Singles' Day (11.11) to see if there's another price reduction.

Current price (after vouchers & coins):

Every day die die wan kingston

No other brand to choose??

Because other brand is either overpriced or crap.

Haha, no lah, it’s not like I must have Kingston!
It’s just that the KC3000 is the most affordable Gen 4 NVMe I’ve found with a DRAM cache and 7GB/s read and write speeds.

If you know of any other brands that offer something similar for a better price, I’m all ears!

My Kingston nv2 1tb dead for no reason. Now boot up undetectable. Which brand is more reliable than kingston?

uefi cannot see the drive no more? usually if a drive fails, will fallback into read only mode. cabut and cucuk back again.
what mobo? if gt extra slot try slotting it into the other (make sure to check mobo manual first to see if slotting into another m2 slot will affect anything else or not, usually it will e.g. disabling a few SATA slot or dropping PCIe lanes on PCIe slot). if confirm fail, time to tukar lor. so far, I tested and used samsung 980 and 990 pro no issue. wd sn850x is good, kingston fury renegade healthy as well. BUT they're not cheap

nv2 is dramless, no matter how many ppl have pleasant experience with a dramless drive I still recommend against it. regardless of brands, all of them have QC issues once in a while, in big batches. samsung wd all kena b4

laptop only have 1 & only m2 slot. I waiting for usb m.2 encloser to test out.

Is adata m2 nvme reliable?

brand is not the problem, but rather model

Kingston NV series is budget model, made with whatever spare parts they have at the factory

KC3000 still very good

Adata... most are eh, SX8200 PRO has it's problems in the past but still an ok choice

bought a USB encloser. SSD not detectable. All data lost. Boycott Kingston forever

how long was the Kingston NV2 used for? Kingston do make some reliable products, touch wood never had issue with their value rams running almost 24/7 for many years, also no issue with the highly recommended kc3000

maybe try samsung/ crucial/ corsair but go for better models instead of the budget series

august 2023 till 3 oct 2024

it should come with 3 years warranty, claim rejected?

difficult to claim if bought from Lazada/shopee. parallel importer. Packaging not the same as local.
