Is the KC3000 4TB worth it over a cheaper 2TB drive?

Only if you need 4TB in one M.2 slot. Two 2TB drives usually cost less per gigabyte, but they take two slots.

Will it reach 7,000 MB/s in my laptop?

Only if the laptop's M.2 slot runs PCIe 4.0 x4. On PCIe 3.0 the drive works but tops out near PCIe 3.0 speeds.

No. The KC3000 is a bare M.2 2280 drive, so use your motherboard's heatsink or add one for sustained writes.

Kingston rates the 4TB model at 3,276.8 TB written and backs it with a 5-year warranty.

It fits the PS5's M.2 slot and meets the speed requirement, but Sony requires a heatsink, which this drive does not include.
