Kingston DC1000B, new enterprise NVMe SSD for data centers

Kingston announced the availability of a new SSD for the data center: the NVMe DC1000B M.2 boot drive. This new SSD is ideal for servers with one or two NVMe M.2 slots dedicated to boot, which preserves valuable 2.5-inch front-loading bays for additional data storage. The DC1000B is designed in a 2280 format that includes protection in case of loss of power integrated in the card and resistance 0.5 DWPD⁴ For greater durability. The Kingston DC1000B offers impressive performance with speeds of up to 3.2 GB / s and 205,000 IOPS^two and is designed for boot, as well as for cache and login applications.

Keith Schimmenti, Business Manager of Enterprise SSD Units at Kingston, said that “although the M.2 format was originally developed for client machines, its small physical size and high performance make it ideal for use on servers. The DC1000B is designed specifically for new servers of both shipowners and OEM Level 1 that use NVMe M.2 SSD drives for boot purposes, in addition to the ability to be configured as a local cache unit. ”

DC1000B is a high-performance NVMe M.2 (2280) SSD that uses the latest PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4 interface with NAND TLC 3D. The DC1000B offers data centers an economical boot solution with the assurance that they are acquiring an SSD designed for use on servers. Ideal for use as an internal boot drive on high-volume rack-mountable servers and on specific-purpose systems that require a high-performance M.2 SSD with power loss protection (PLP) integrated into the card. DC1000B is designed to provide enterprise-level performance, as well as low-latency functions that are usually not found on client SSD drives.

DC1000B is available in 240 GB and 480 GB capacities^one and has a five-year limited warranty, free technical support and legendary Kingston reliability.
