Using the latest Gen 4x4 PCIe interface with 112-layer 3D TLC
NAND, DC2000B is ideally suited for internal server boot drive
applications as well for use in purpose built systems applications
where higher performance and reliability are required. DC2000B
includes on-board hardware-based power loss protection (PLP), a
data protection feature not commonly found on M.2 SSDs. It also
includes a new integrated aluminum heatsink that helps to ensure
broad thermal compatibility across a wide variety of system
designs.
“Whitebox server makers and Tier 1 server OEMs continue to equip
their latest generation servers with M.2 sockets for boot purposes
as well as internal data caching,” said Cameron Crandall,
enterprise SSD business manager, Kingston. “DC2000B was designed to
deliver the necessary performance and write endurance to handle a
variety of high duty cycle server workloads. Bringing the boot
drives internal to the server preserves the valuable front loading
drive bays for data storage.”
DC2000B is available in 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB
capacities1 and is backed by a limited five-year warranty, free
technical support and legendary Kingston reliability. For more
