Description
PCIe 5.0 NVMe U.2 for server applications
Kingston's DC3000ME U.2 SSD for datacenters features a high-speed PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface and utilizes 3D eTLC NAND technology to support a wide range of server applications, including AI, HPC, OLTP, databases, cloud infrastructure, and edge computing. The DC3000ME incorporates power-failure protection to safeguard data in the event of a sudden power loss and 256-bit AES encryption for enhanced data security. The DC3000ME utilizes the latest high-speed PCIe 5.0 interface and is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 servers and backplanes. Like all Kingston datacenter SSDs, the DC3000ME is designed to ensure consistent I/O and low latency—key design criteria that system integrators, hyperscale datacenters, and cloud service providers rely on. The DC3000ME is available in 3.84TB, 7.68TB, and 15.36TB capacities* and is backed by Kingston's legendary technical support and a 5-year limited warranty.
Applications and workloads
The DC3000ME is ideally suited for a wide range of server applications and workloads, including:
- AI
- HPC
- Cloud services
- Edge computing
- Software-defined storage
- RAID
- Use of servers in general
Enterprise PCIe 5.0 performance
Ensures consistent I/O and low latency with sustained speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s read and 2,800,000 IOPS** read.
State-of-the-art storage and optimal efficiency
High-capacity options provide an exceptional balance between I/O consistency and ultra-high performance. Optimized to efficiently handle a wide range of server workloads.
Integrated Power Line Protection (PLP)
Enterprise-class protection to reduce the risk of data loss or corruption in the event of an unexpected power outage, out-of-band NVMe-MI 1.2b management, end-to-end data protection, TCG Opal 2.0.
256-bit AES encryption
Security of sensitive data thanks to AES 256-bit hardware encryption and TCG Opal 2.0.
