DC2000B PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD
Enterprise class for server applications
Kingston DC2000B is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD that uses the latest Gen 4x4 PCIe interface with 112-layer
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 five-year warranty.
