availability of a new data centre SSD – the

The new drive is ideal for servers shipping
with one or two M.2 NVMe slots dedicated
for boot purposes and thus preserving
valuable front-loading 2.5” drive bays

for additional data storage. DC1000B
is designed in a 2280 form factor that
includes onboard power-loss protection
and is engineered with 0.5DWPD4
endurance for extended service life.
Kingston’s DC1000B boasts incredible
performance with speeds of up to
3.2GB/s and 205K IOPS2 and is designed
for booting, as well as caching and
logging applications.
“While the M.2 form factor was originally
designed for client machines, it’s small
physical size and high performance make
it attractive for server use,” said Tony
Hollingsbee, SSD Business Manager,
Kingston EMEA. “DC1000B is purpose
built for the latest servers from both white
box and Tier 1 server OEMs that utilise
M.2 NVMe SSDs for boot purposes, as well
as the ability to be configured as a local
cache drive.”
DC1000B is a high-performance M.2
(2280) NVMe SSD using the latest
Gen 3.0 x 4 PCIe interface with 3D TLC
NAND. DC1000B offers data centres a
cost-effective boot drive solution with
the reassurance they are purchasing an
SSD designed for server use. Ideally
suited for use in high-volume rack-
mount servers as an internal boot drive(s)
as well as purpose-built systems where
a high-performance M.2 SSD is needed
that includes on-board power-loss
protection (PLP).
DC1000B is designed to deliver
enterprise-level performance consistency
and low-latency features typically not
found on client SSDs.
DC1000B is available in 240GB and
480GB capacities1 and is backed by a
limited five-year warranty, free technical
support and Kingston reliability. ◊
