Strong security features, Fast random read/write, Brand new controller
Expensive, Low-rated endurance
The Kingston KC2500 brings strong performance and even stronger security, but has a high price tag that may be hard to justify for most people...
Very solid performance, Full security suite, Five-year warranty
Pricing like PCIe 4.0 drives
Kingston has forged a strong relationship with controller manufacturer SMI and has used it to create a range of solid NVMe drives that offer well-rounded performance from a well-respected manufacturer.The KC2500 builds on the KC2000 by upping the spee...

Overall performance, Endurance, Encryption support
4K performance at deeper queue depths
Kingston's KC2000 was the first readily available drive we saw that used 96-layer 3D TLC NAND, using it in combination with a Silicon Motion SM2262EN 8-channel controller. For the company's latest drive, the KC2500, Kingston has stuck with the same contro...
It's fascinating to us that with a drive that on paper looks almost identical to its predecessor, Kingston has managed to squeeze quantifiable performance gains out of the same NAND and controller purely by tweaking their hardware and software engineering...

Abstract: Kingston's KC2500 is an NVMe SSD that can run with the top-tier drive in any performance scenario—even long sustained writes. It's also affordable compared to drives such as Samsung's 970 Pro and WD's Black SN570, etc. though it has some tough competitio...

The KC2500 1TB promises Kingston's core attributes of honest quality and reliability along with cutting-edge speed for high performance systems. Did it deliver in all aspects? I would say so. There is native hardware encryption with its XTS-AES 256-bit en...
Very good overall performance, Corporate security features, Useful bundled software, Five-year warranty
Overpriced, Flimsy retail package,
Kingston has delivered a pretty fast SSD with reasonable specifications, in a no-frills package. If you're building a new PC, you absolutely should get a good SSD, and even if you already have a SATA SSD, you can get a huge leap in performance by going wi...
Read and write speeds, Plenty of security features, M.2 makes it perfect for any PC
Expensive than other brands
The Kingston KC2500 delivers real fast transfer speed and enhances the overall PC performance. It is the ideal partner for high-end computing but comes at a higher price point.Kingston's next SSD KC2500 uses latest Gen 3.0 x 4 controller and 96-layer 3D...

As I said, at RM849, the 1TB Kingston KC2500 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD is positioned a little on the high side, and that can be the decisive factor for many consumers who are in the market for an SSD, based on the price-to-performance ratio.Having said that, the...
Decent performance, Large DRAM cache, Easy to use SSD management software, Supports full disk encryption, Comes with free license key for Acronis True Image HD software, 5-year warranty from Kingston,
Controller gets hot under heavy load
Performance-wise, the KC2500 is probably one of the fastest PCIe Gen3 M.2 NVMe SSD we've tested despite not having any reason to utilize any of the security features available. The Kingston KC2500 1TB we have here might seem a bit too expensive at the pri...
