Kingston DCP1000 NVMe PCIe SSD Now Generally Available




/ 7 years ago

There is good news for those in the market for Kingston‘s DCP1000 NVMe SSD, as the company announced the general availability of it in the European market. It has been six months since Kingston officially unveiled the drive, so I’m sure there are people eagerly awaiting this announcement.

Kingston DCP1000 NVMe SSD

The DCP1000 is built with four 8-channel controllers in one drive, allowing this single SSD drive to perform with an impressive 6800 MB/s. That is over 10 times the speed that an average enthusiast SATA3 SSD does. The write speed isn’t as high, but still very impressive with 6000 MB/s. The drive isn’t short of performance when it comes to random operations either and here it breaks the 1.1 million IOPS when reading 4K and it writes with 200K IOPS.

Currently, three different drive capacities were announced, 800GB, 1.6TB, and 3.2TB – all of them in the half-height half-length (HHHL) form factor which makes them compatible with pretty much any system. Endurance wise, the three models are rated for 748TB, 1500TB, and 2788TB and they all have a mean time before failure (MTBF) of 2 million hours. To round the whole thing off, Kingston backs the new DCP1000 NVMe series with a 5-year warranty.
