Kingston Debuts DC3000ME PCIe 5.0 NVMe U.2 Enterprise SSD with eTLC NAND

[Nomad76]

Kingston has introduced its new DC3000ME line of enterprise-grade PCIe 5.0 SSDs. These top-tier storage devices come in a U.2 15 mm form factor (100.50 mm × 69.8 mm × 14.8 mm) and use 3D eTLC NAND flash memory. The drives include built-in power loss protection and AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. Kingston DC3000ME SSDs are designed for server applications such as AI, HPC, OLTP, databases, cloud infrastructure, and edge computing. As an enterprise-grade product, the DC3000ME SSDs also feature various built-in telemetry such as media wear, temperature, health, etc.

At this moment, they are offered in three sizes: 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, and 15.36 TB. Each version has 1DWPD durability with a 5-year warranty. In terms of power consumption, we have 8 W when idle and up to 24 W during writing operations. Kingston points out the drives' steady I/O performance and quick response times, with read delays under 10µs at 99% and write delays under 70µs. (up to 14,000/10,000 MB/s sequential read/write and up to 2,800,000/500,000 4k random read/write IOPS). The drives also have NVMe-MI 1.2b remote management, end-to-end data safety, and support for TCG Opal 2.0. Exact pricing is still to be announced, however we found them online at €686,9 (3.84 TB), €1226,9 (7.68 TB), €2252,9 (15.36 TB).

Hey,
Is the controller selection public?

 

[GabrielLP14]

from what i can see @keshav99 its a similar OEM of the Memblaze 7940, so it's probably Marvell's Bravera MV-SS1333 with Either YMTC X3-9070 TLC 232-Layer 1Tb or Micron B58R FortisFlash 1Tb TLC

But thats just my guess, i could be wrong.

Awesome thanks, it does look identical to the memblaze drive.

Yeah i bet it is indeed, but Memblaze 7940 has 2 variants, one with Micron's B58R and another with YMTC's EET1A
