Kingston KC3000, 980 PRO GG

Maybe not be the best in all categories but the Samsung 980 PRO finally has some worthy opposition. Worthy enough that I'll consider KC3000 my next primary drive in a workhorse. For some reason Samsung videos have hi ROF vs. the others. I don't believe that it's a pure user curiosity. Something is fishy. And it's not a Kingston.

Nice test. I seems that 980 Pro is best choice for me. Liked 90% fill test, as it is most common scenario for my usage.

Thank you by the way. You channel will be my go to when I buy new nvme ssd.

Can you please also try pcie slot adapter. Will it be better?

What exactly is "ROF" that you mention in video description? Sounds like rate of failure, but you are referring to samsung video and not the drive itself.

Hi is it always better to get 1tb nvme or 500gb should be fine? Is 1tb faster?
