DATA CENTER DC1000M U.2 NVME SSD

Enterprise Class U.2 NVMe SSD with PLP
Data Center DC1000M › Enterprise-class U.2 NVMe
The Kingston DC1000M U.2 NVMe SSD features high-storage capacity and best-in-
class enterprise performance. It offers a high-performance Gen 3.0 x4 PCIe NVMe PCIe SSD Gen 3.0 x4 SSD
interface enabling high throughput and low latency on standardized platforms.
It’s designed to deliver up to 540K IOPS of random read performance and 3GB/s › High performance
of throughput. The DC1000M is backed by strict QoS requirements to ensure over 3GB/s
predictable random IO performance as well as predictable latencies over a wide
range of workloads. › Predictable low latency
The U.2 form factor design (2.5”, 15mm) works seamlessly with the latest generation and high I/O consistency
servers and storage arrays utilizing PCIe and U.2 backplanes. It’s hot pluggable
which makes the challenges of serviceable PCIe storage an issue of the past.
› On-board power loss
It also features enterprise-class features such as end-to-end data path protection,
power loss protection (PLP), and telemetry monitoring for increased data center
protection (PLP)
reliability. Backed by Kingston’s legendary pre- and post-sales support and a five-
year limited warranty. Capacities1 range from 960GB to 7.6TB.

Applications
The “mixed-use” workload drive makes it ideal for running a wide range of customer
applications including:
• Virtualization
• High performance cloud service
• Web hosting caching
• High-resolution media capture and transport
• ERP, CRM, GL, OLAP, OLTP, ERM, BI, and EDW workloads
