- TechPowerUpIn our real-life test suite, the Kingston KC3000 achieves excellent results, too. It beats the Samsung 980 Pro by 1%—an important win. The Corsair MP600 Pro is beaten by 2%, it uses the same E18 controller, but slower 96-layer NAND flash. The KC3000 is actually the fastest SSD we ever tested, it shares the performance throne with the WD Black SN850—really nice work here, Kingston! Compared to the fastest PCI-Express 3.0 drives the difference is around 3 to 5%, of course more, depending on the workload. More value-oriented PCIe 3.0 drives are 15% slower, and the aging SATA drives are around 25% slower, SATA QLC even 40–50%.
