Kingston Flash 15.36TB DC3000ME U.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe TCG Opal Enterprise SSD

DC3000ME PCIe 5.0 NVMe U.2 SSD
Enterprise-class Gen5 NVMe U.2 SSD with power loss protection for server applications
Kingston’s DC3000ME U.2 data center SSD features a high-speed PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface and utilises 3D eTLC NAND, making
it well suited for a wide range of server applications such as AI, HPC, OLTP, databases, cloud infrastructure and edge
computing. DC3000ME includes on-board power loss protection to safeguard data in the event of sudden power loss and AES
256-bit encryption for ultimate data security. DC3000ME utilises the latest high-speed PCIe 5.0 interface and is backwardcompatible with PCIe 4.0 servers and backplanes. Like all of Kingston’s data center SSDs, DC3000ME is designed to deliver I/O
consistency and low latency as the key design criteria that system integrators, hyperscale data centers and cloud service
providers can depend on. DC3000ME is offered in 3.84TB, 7.68TB and 15.36TB1
capacities and is backed by Kingston's
legendary technical support and a 5-year limited warranty.
