KingSpec Challenger E3000 Enterprise Grade Synchronous SSDs
The Challenger E3000 range of SSDs from KingSpec offers high performance and enterprise-grade reliability.
Although you have to pay more for them, the Challenger E3000 Solid State Disks from KingSpec offer a greatly increased level of performance and reliability in comparison to cheaper “consumer grade” products, through their use of synchronous memory. In addition, KingSpec’s unique DuraWrite™ wear-levelling/data writing controller algorithm greatly extends the service life of the flash memory and adds more than 20 years to the C3000 series MTBF figure (mean time between failure).
And as you would expect, Challenger SSDs are fully RAID compatible, allowing users to easily set up a disk array to further maximise reliability and/or performance. If you want breathtaking real-world performance combined with minimised risk of future SSD failure even for intensive data read/write applications, the Challenger E3000 is the disk to go for.
Features
- Synchronous FLASH memory gives maximum reliability and performance
- Sustained read/write throughput of 500 MB per second
- Energy-saving operation of only 0.5W idle and 2.0W active
- Ten-year data retention period / 1,500,000 hours MTBF
Review

When it comes to the headline performance figures for the drive though, we found even KingSpec’s own figures - up to 500MB/s for reads and 489MB/s for writes - were a little on the conservative side. When tested with the ATTO benchmark we achieved 556MB/s and 530MB/s for reads and writes respectively.
On these figures alone that makes it one of the fastest 2.5-inch SSDs we ever tested. Not only is it one of the fastest drives we’ve tested it’s also got a relatively palatable price tag to boot, especially for a drive aimed at the enterprise side of things. Although there are cheaper 240GB drives in the market, the E3000-240 still comes in under the magic £1/GB ceiling. Which is pretty impressive.
