Overview
- Kingston expanded its DC3000ME lineup Monday with a 30.72TB U.2 NVMe SSD on PCIe 5.0.
- The drive reaches up to 14 GB/s sequential reads and up to 2.8 million random read IOPS for fast access.
- It supports existing PCIe 4.0 servers and features 3D eTLC NAND, power-loss protection, AES-256 encryption, and TCG Opal 2.0 SED capabilities.
- Kingston provides technical support and a 5-year limited warranty for all DC3000ME capacities, including the new model.
- Industry reports place it among few PCIe 5.0 U.2 options at this size, which can let operators use fewer drives per rack and cut power per terabyte.
