Kingston Launches High-Performance Data Center SSD

Kingston has launched its latest data centre SSD, DC2000B, a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD optimised for use in high-volume rack-mount servers as an internal boot drive. Using the latest Gen 4×4 PCIe interface with 112-layer 3D TLC NAND, DC2000B is ideally suited for internal server boot drive applications as well for use in purpose-built systems applications where higher performance and reliability are required.

DC2000B includes onboard hardware-based power loss protection (PLP), a data protection feature not commonly found on M.2 SSDs. It also includes a new integrated aluminium heatsink that helps to ensure broad thermal compatibility across a wide variety of system designs.

“Whitebox server makers and Tier 1 server OEMs continue to equip their latest generation servers with M.2 sockets for boot purposes as well as internal data caching,” said Tony Hollingsbee, SSD business manager, Kingston EMEA. “DC2000B was designed to deliver the necessary performance and write endurance to handle a variety of high-duty cycle server workloads. Bringing the boot drives internal to the server preserves the valuable front-loading drive bays for data storage.”

DC2000B is available in 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB capacities and is backed by a limited five-year warranty and free technical support.
