Kingston DC3000ME 7.68TB U.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

The Kingston DC3000ME is an Enterprise-class Solid State Drive utilizing the U.2 form factor, specifically engineered for deployment in high-demand data center environments. Leveraging the high-speed PCIe 5.0 NVMe x4 interface, this drive achieves sequential read performance up to 14,000 MB/s and sequential writes reaching 10,000 MB/s. These high throughput rates are necessary for demanding applications like High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI processing, and large-scale database operations. The implementation of 3D eTLC NAND ensures reliable performance consistency under heavy, sustained load conditions.

Critical to server workloads, the DC3000ME maintains predictable responsiveness, supporting rapid transaction processing with a specified random read IOPS of 2,800,000 and write IOPS of 500,000. Reliability features include robust Power Loss Protection (PLP) designed to safeguard data integrity during unexpected power fluctuations, alongside full end-to-end data path protection. Furthermore, comprehensive data security is implemented via TCG Opal 2.0 protocols and 256-bit AES hardware encryption, meeting enterprise compliance standards.
