Please help! i need to decide between these two drives, 1 tb versions. I will use it mostly for gaming and browsing, not heavy work, but you never know, also i love the DRAM in the kingston drive, but on the other side the speed of this Crucial is amazing.
The prices is almost the same
What would you do?
Thank you

I use Kingston KC3000 drives in my computer, I have 2 2TB drives. They have both been fast and reliable for me. And I know neither of them are PCIe 5 drives, but having 7000/7000 read/write speeds for the 2TB version is more than fast enough for both games and everyday use. I think you will have to use them for some really specialized needs to actually need faster drives.

I use P510 1TB and it’s totally fine. Got it before Micron decided to abandon consumer market though otherwise would’ve never give my money to them. Would go with Kingston just on principle if I were you.

Kingston kc3000 definitely

Crucial P510

If you are using it for gaming and browsing, it will make absolutely no difference at all
If you said that you are using it for Windows main drive... it would be a different conversation
I don't have experience with Kingston, I can't judge them. I had Crucial SSD's before they are reliable. Alot of people on reddit actually prefer Crucial over Samsung sometimes. But again, if it's just storing games, go with whatever.. happy gaming

thank you very much, yes it will be main os drive, i just cant decide what is more important, dram or raw speed

Crucial has exit the consumer market so you might have issues with a warranty replacement. They say they’ll still honor warranties but what if they run out of stock?
Put this another way, the extra speed won’t let you do anything you can’t already do with the kc3000.
Will you really be disappointed if you move a 50gb file over and it takes a few more seconds? (We’re not talking like going from a HDD to SDD lol)

Does your motherboard have pcie 5 m.2 slots?
I'd probably go for kc3000, but you can read some reviews.
Some gen 5 drives get pretty hot.

thank you, yes dram is important so i will probably get that one, my board is 3.0 pcie but does not matter i will be upgrading to gen 5 board, also I want this drive to last for years, I will take care of it
