Kingston KC1000 480 GB

Kao što smo u uvodu napisali, Kingston je ovaj NVMe SSD namijenio podjednako profesionalcima i računalnim entuzijastima. Profesionalci koji rade s velikom količinom podataka u editiranju video materijala visoke rezolucije, razvijaju VR aplikacije, rade u CAD/CAM softveru ili se pak bave analizom podataka u realnom vremenu će profitirati od brzog sučelja, baš kao i igrači kojima će se brže učitavati igre i aplikacije koje koriste. NVMe sučelje donosi nativnu komunikaciju s NAND-om, a PCIe x4 osigurava iskorištenje sve te propusnosti. KC1000 je predstavljen još ljetos, a dostupan je u kapacitetima 240, 480 i 960 GB.

Disk dolazi s pet godišnjim jamstvom, a Kingston uz njega daje i licencu za Acronisov True Image softver. KC1000 je specifičan po tome što uz njega dolazi PCIe x4 add-in kartica, kako bi ga mogli ugraditi i u računala koja nemaju M.2 Socket, što je njegov originalni format. Uz standardnu visinu kartice, Kingston daje i lim za niža kućišta, a sve je udobno smješteno u debelu pjenu i dobro zaštićeno.

KC1000 je baš kao i Corsair MP500 ili Patriot Hellfire baziran oko Phisonovog PS5007-E7 kontrolera, pa s te strane otprilike znamo kakve performanse možemo očekivati. Bit će zanimljivo vidjeti da li je i koliko Kingston što mijenjao u firmwareu i kakva je razlika u odnosu na testirani Hellfire. PS5007-E7 je osam kanalni nativni NVMe kontroler s PCIe 3.0 x4 sučeljem. Baš kao i kod Patriota, i ovdje je korišten Toshibin 2D MLC NAND proizveden u 15-nanometarskom procesu.

SSD je standardnog M.2 2280 formata, a Kingston isporučuje klasičnu PCIe 3.0 x4 add-in karticu uz njega koja ima prednji nosač klasičnog i nižeg formata. Tehničke karakteristike govore o MTBF vremenu od dva milijuna sati, operativnoj temperaturi od 0°C do 70°C i maksimalnoj potrošnji prilikom zapisa od 7.4 W.

Na stražnjoj se strani pločice uz NAND čipove nalazi i Kingstonova priručna memorija kapaciteta 256 GB. Deklarirane sekvencijalne brzine čitanja su 2.700 MB/s, a zapisa 1.600 MB/s. Nasumične 4K performanse su 190.000 IOPS-a za čitanje i 160.000 IOPS-a za zapis. Vrlo bitan podatak je i onaj o maksimalnom zapisu, a za 480 GB model to je 550 TB (za 240 GB model je 300 TB, a za 960 GB je 1 PB). Kingston ovdje navodi još jedan podatak (ili ograničenje), a to je Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) od 0.70 za 240, 0.64 za 480 GB i 0.58 za 960 GB model. U prijevodu to znači kako je dnevni limit zapisa 240 GB modela oko 168 GB (pojednostavljeno). Kapacitet ovoga 480 GB modela formatiranog u NTFS je 447 GB.

Kao i manje više svi M.2 SSD-i i ovaj se jako zagrijava, tj. najvišu temperaturu generira Phison kontroler. Mi smo zabilježili maksimum od čak 79°C, pa je adekvatno hlađenje imperativ. Ugradnjom na ploču koja ima pasivni hladnjak temperatura pada za do desetak °C, a idealno bi bilo osigurati i zračnu struju preko hladnjaka i SSD-a.

Način testiranja

Disk smo testirali na Gigabyteovoj X399 Aorus Gaming 7 ploči s Ryzen Threadripper 1920X procesorom, a prilikom testiranja je disk radio s NVMe driverima. Napravili smo usporedne testove i na X370 te Z370 platformi i dobili vrlo slične rezultate. Uz sve standardne testove koje provodimo tu je i simulacija četiriju situacija uz pomoć I/O Metera – Database sa 67% čitanja i 33% zapisa, Workstation s 80% čitanja i 20% zapisa, Web Servera sa 100% čitanja i File Servera s 80% čitanja i 20% zapisa, nakon čega ispisujemo broj izmjerenih IOPS-a. Savjeti za svakodnevnu operativu SSD-a pod Windows OS-om uključuju isključivanje stvari kao što su indeksiranje diska, zatim isključivanje prefetcha i Superfetcha te defragmentiranja koje je sasvim nepotrebno.

Oba ova benchmarka koriste nekompresibilne podatke pri čemu su drugačiji od ATTO Benchmarka. Jedina su razlike u brzinama zapisa gdje je ASSD malo pesimističniji.

Zaključak

KC1000 je vrlo brz M.2 NVMe SSD koji svojim performansama opravdava ulogu koju mu je namijenio proizvođač. Kingston tvrdi kako će profesionalci koji manipuliraju s velikim količinama podataka imati velike koristi od njega, a to je i dokazano dobrim I/O performansama u miješanim testovima. Brzine transfera su vrlo visoke, a jedino pomalo brinu maksimalna vremena pristupa. U realnim, real-life testovima se jasno pokazuje vrlo brz bilo da je riječ o zapisu mnoštva manjih ili pojedinačnih većih fajlova. S cijenom od oko 2.000 kuna na više za 480 GB verziju, KC1000 nije jeftin, no konkurentan je. Patriot Hellfire koji koristi isti kontroler je tek stotinjak kuna jeftiniji, a ima dvije godine kraće jamstvo. Zagrijavanje je problem, kao i kod drugih M.2 SSD-a i KC1000 treba dobro hladiti. Za sve ostalo, ovaj disk zaslužuje visoke preporuke.
