Kingston KC2500
2000 GB, M.2 2280Product details
Superior NVMe Speeds, Maximum Flexibility
Kingston's KC2500 NVMe PCIe SSD delivers powerful performance with the latest Gen 3.0 x 4 controller and 96-layer 3D TLC NAND. With read/write speeds of up to 3,500/2,900 MB/s, the KC2500 offers excellent endurance and enhances workflow in desktop, workstation, and HPC (High-Performance Computing) systems. Its compact M.2 design provides greater flexibility, increases storage capacity, and saves space.
Available in storage capacities ranging from 250 GB to 2 TB to meet your system requirements. The KC2500 is a self-encrypting drive that supports end-to-end data protection using hardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption and allows the use of independent software vendors with TCG Opal 2.0 security management solutions. The KC2500 also features built-in support for Microsoft eDrive, a security storage specification for use with BitLocker.
- Incredible NVMe PCIe performance
- Supports a complete security suite (TCG Opal 2.0, XTS-AES 256-bit, eDrive)
- Ideal for desktops, workstations, and HPC systems (High-Performance Computing)
- Upgrade your PC with capacities up to 2 TB
Based on "out-of-box performance" using a PCIe 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary depending on host hardware, software, and usage. IOMETER Random 4K Read/Write is based on an 8 GB partition. A portion of the stated capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and is therefore not available for data storage. As a result, the actual available storage capacity is less than what is indicated on the products.
