Kingston Technology 480G DC2000B PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Enterprise SSD

About this product

Enterprise class for server applications

Kingston’s DC2000B SSD is a high-performance boot drive designed for data centers using the latest Gen 4x4 PCIe interface with 3D TLC NAND. With low latency, IOPS consistency and hardware-based power loss protection, it ensures reliability and efficiency. Available in capacities of up to 960GB, it's ideal for enterprise server boot and caching applications. 

Kingston DC2000B is a high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD using a Gen 4x4 PCIe controller and 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 5-year warranty."

On-board power loss protection (PLP)

Reduce the possibility of data loss and/or corruption due to unexpected power-off.

Low latency and IOPS consistency

Firmware optimised to deliver low latency and IO consistency for high duty cycle workloads.

Designed for data center environments

Optimised to meet the demands of server boot applications with low latency and IO consistency as the key design criteria.

Manufacturer warranty information

Limited 5-year warranty with free technical support

Manufacturer notes

*Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and is thus not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Guide at kingston.com/flashguide. ** Measurement taken once the workload has reached a steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability. *** Total bytes written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A). **** Drives writes per day (DWPD) derived from the JEDEC Enterprise Workload (JESD219A). ***** Limited warranty based on 5 years or “Percentage Used”, which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager (Kingston.com/SSDManager). For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value of 0, whereas a product that reaches its warranty limit will show a Percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
