Kingston kc2000 nvme pcie, the new next generation ssd

The Californian company and professional in the field of memories and technological solutions has offered information about its new device, the Kingston KC2000. The Solid State Disk (SSD) seeks to be a standard in security and speed of processing for the most enthusiastic users and companies dedicated to data work.

The Kingston KC2000 bet

Today the new Kingston KC2000 M.2 SSD has been released . The device is about to dock at the ports of all computer shops and has some very cool features.

The new hard drive aims to offer great performance thanks to its latest generation Gen 3.0 x 4 lares controller and 96-layer NAND 3D TLC . It is thanks to this that it manages to achieve read and write speeds of up to 3.2 GB / s and 2.2 GB / s , respectively. A very respectable number, although not the highest on the market.

With this, the company wants to offer the basic characteristics that every hard disk for demanding companies and users needs: reliability and speed.

The KC2000 is designed for users who demand high performance, especially for intensive workloads on PCs and workstations that demand speed and reliability. This unit provides greater flexibility, it is available in multiple capacities up to 2TB and its M format. 2 saves space. The KC2000 is therefore the perfect SSD drive for users looking for the latest storage upgrade.

Data security

Living in a place increasingly dominated by computing where data is needed in more places, we need to be cautious in all areas. As we've already savored first-hand, even processors are streaks where hackers can mine personal information like bank accounts or passwords.

That is why Kingston guarantees us a secure data flow thanks to self-encryption that supports end-to-end data protection. This method is achieved thanks to a 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption that enables Sumantec, McAfee or WinMagic level software , among others. Highlights support for Microsoft eDrive, a security storage option with Bitlocker support.

Kingston KC2000 General Features

Kingston hard drives will be available in a conservative 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB distribution .

The device will have an NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4 lares interface and supports security systems such as TCG Opal 2.0, AES 256-bits or eDrive. All this in an M.2 2280 form factor.

The writing and reading speeds will vary depending on the device that we buy, being in sequential Writing / Reading:

250 GB - 3, 000 MB / s and 1, 100 MB / s 500 GB - 3, 000 MB / s and 2, 000 MB / s1 TB - 3, 200 MB / s and 2, 200 MB / s2 TB - 3, 200 MB / s and 2, 200 MB / s

In the case of Random 4K Read / Write we have some results of:

250 GB - 350, 000 IOPS and 200, 000 IOPS 500 GB - 350, 000 IOPS and 250, 000 IOPS1 TB - 350, 000 IOPS and 275, 000 IOPS2 TB - 250, 000 IOPS and 250, 000 IOPS

* IOPS: Input / Output Per Second Operations, in Spanish.

Finally, the disks will offer full storage before becoming obsolete from:

250 GB - 150 TeraBytes 500 GB - 300 TeraBytes1 TB - 600 TeraBytes2 TB - 1, 2 PetaBytes

In case you do not know what we are talking about, an SSD is a type of storage device that uses a different structure than conventional HDDs that allows it to be much faster. The downside of this is that it also results in that each time we overwrite information we wear out certain components of the device and therefore, there will come a time when we can no longer use the disk.

Do not worry, since the algorithms that avoid this fateful destiny are getting better and, hopefully, in the future we will find better technology. Currently, you can verify that to make the 250 GB hard disk obsolete you should fill it and overwrite it 600 times. As you understand, it is unlikely that you will ever suffer from "spending" an SSD.

To finish, we will comment that the brand offers a 5-year warranty and technical assistance, a generous amount for a device that we will be using for a long time.

Is it worth it?

Experience encourages us to trust Kingston, as she is one of the veterans of the computer world. However, from the most rational that we can be, we recommend you to be cautious. We never know when a brand can screw it up and until we have some feedback , it's never good to trust blindly.

The device is with great features and offers us a very interesting alternative, especially in the field of security. The writing and reading speeds are very good and will allow us to work very smoothly and agilely. If everything continues as planned, Kingston will surely continue in its line with reliable and quality products.

At the date of this news we do not have an official price from the company, so we cannot give you much more information.
