Kingston DC2000B 960 GB M.2 2280 NVMe

The Kingston Data Center DC2000B is an enterprise-class solid-state drive built for servers and data centres. It delivers 960 GB of storage using 3D TLC NAND and a PCI Express 4.0 x4 interface. Sequential reads reach up to 7000 MBps while writes hit 1300 MBps. Random performance is rated at 540,000 read IOPS and 47,000 write IOPS.

Suits read-heavy workloads; not for heavy write duty

This drive fits read-intensive applications such as boot volumes, content delivery and caching where endurance of 0.4 DWPD and 700 TBW is sufficient. It is not for buyers who need higher write endurance for databases, logging or mixed workloads that exceed the rated terabytes written. The 70 µs read latency and 20 µs write latency support consistent low-latency access.

0.4 DWPD endurance rating

The single specification that decides fit is the 0.4 drive writes per day endurance over the warranty period. This figure determines whether the 960 GB capacity can survive the target workload without early wear-out. Verify your daily write volume against this rating before deployment.

Questions about this item

How much power does the DC2000B draw at max write and what is its operating temperature ceiling?

The drive peaks at 7.80 W during write operations and is rated for continuous operation up to 70 °C.

What host interface and slot length must the server provide for this M.2 2280 drive?

The drive requires an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe signalling.

Will the 0.4 DWPD endurance and 700 TB TBW rating still be valid if the drive shares a backplane with higher-endurance models?

Yes, the 0.4 DWPD and 700 TB TBW ratings are intrinsic to this drive and do not change when mixed with other SSDs.
