Enterprise class for server applications
Kingston’s DC2000B SSD is a high-performance boot drive designed for data centers using the latest Gen 4x4 PCIe interface with 3D TLC NAND. With low latency, IOPS consistency and hardware-based power loss protection, it ensures reliability and efficiency. Available in capacities of up to 960GB, it's ideal for enterprise server boot and caching applications.
Kingston DC2000B is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD using a Gen 4x4 PCIe controller and 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 5-year warranty."
