New Kingston DCP1000 M2 SSD reaches 6800 MB/s
Kingston will be releasing the DCP1000 M2 SSD, the M.2. unit makes use of four KC1000 M.2-SSDs and this combines them in RAID. This brings a performance of 6800 and 6000 MB/s for sequential reads and writes to the unit.
The enterprise datacenter M2 unit will become available in 800, 1600 and 3200 GB models. The NAND type used is MLC. The 1600 GB model would be capable of 1.1 million IOPS for reads and 200K IOPS for writes. It has a TBW value of 1500TB and double that for the 3.2TB version.
Kingston’s DCP1000 solid-state drive delivers up to 1.25 million IOPS from a single device, with ultra-low transactional latency and high throughput, making it ideal for data centers requiring extreme performance. It features ultra-fast NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x8, speeds of 7GB/s and hardware-based pFail. DCP1000 has flexible drive topology and supports flexible software RAID capability to save on redundant hardware costs.

It supports 800GB to 3.2TB1 from a single HHHL card and can be optimized for performance or redundancy, and a single card can be configured for RAID via the host software. It’s fast and economical to deploy, using native in-box NVMe drivers specifically built for PCIe-attached SSDs, and it’s plug-and-play with all major operating systems. It has UEFI boot support and low overhead architecture. In addition to its standard electrolytic capacitor pFail design, DCP1000’s enterprise-class features include next-gen ECC data protection and end-toend data path protection.
The units will get 5 years warrenty, prices are TBA.

If you need to ask, you can't afford it! ;-)

That's a NVME PCI-Express 8x card, Nothing to do with M.2
Speed limit for M.2 is now 4000 MB/s, (actually about 3900MB due to signal encoding losses.)

Looking at the spec it seems it's 4 x M.2 cards put in RAID0 on a PCIe board.
Of course, you can stripe two Samsung 960 M.2 cards for similar performance (which is what I hoped to do on my next build) but all the current Ryzen boards limit the second slot to much lower speeds. It's do-able on the Intel Kaby boards though.

Only 6.8GB/s?
I've got 7.1GB/s with 2x sm961 nvme 1TB in raid-0 :p

Insane speeds!
Useless, but I want it =)
