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.
