Kingston DC2000B is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD that uses the latest Gen 4x4 PCIe interface with 112-layer 3D TLC NAND. Ideally suited for use in high-volume rack-mount servers as an internal boot drive(s) to preserve valuable front-loading drive bays, as well as for use in purpose-built systems where a high-performance M.2 SSD is needed that includes hardware-based on-board power loss protection (PLP). New for DC2000B is an integrated aluminium heatsink that offers broader thermal compatibility for a wide range of systems. DC2000B delivers low latency and excellent IO consistency to handle various workloads from boot drive applications to high-speed application caching. DC2000B is rated at 0.4 DWPD write endurance and carries a five-year warranty.
PCIe 4.0 NVMe performance
Utilises PCIe Gen 4x4 lanes for high-performance speeds.
On-board power loss protection (PLP)
Reduce the possibility of data loss and/or corruption due to unexpected power-off.
Low latency and IOPS consistency
Delivers latency and IOPS consistency as defined in the product requirements document.
Designed for data center environments
Optimised to meet the demands of server boot applications with low latency and IO consistency as the key design criteria.
