Kingston today announced the availability of the DC1500M, a U.2 data center NVMe™ PCIe SSD for mixed-use workloads
Kingston Technology, a world
leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced the
availability of the DC1500M, a U.2 data center NVMe™ PCIe SSD for
mixed-use workloads. Leveraging a high-performance Gen 3.0 x4 PCIe NVMe design,
the DC1500M delivers predictable random IO performance as well as predictable
latencies over a wide range of workloads.
“DC1500M
adds support for multiple namespaces making it ideal for environments including
virtualization and web hosting,” said Kingston. “From high-performance cloud
services, media capture and transport to a range of big-data applications,
DC1500M sets the standard for applications where QoS and predictability of
performance are paramount. Data centers need drives that are reliable, have
serviceable form factors and are equipped with the enterprise-grade features
that make it easier to maintain SLAs.”
DC1500M is
built with long-term performance in mind offering a high-performance Gen 3.0 x4
NVMe PCIe interface to ensure high throughput and low latency in new and
existing data center platforms. The drive delivers consistent read/write
latencies of <110 µs / <206 µs, respectively.
Additionally, adopting the U.2 form factor allows current Gen 3.0 and Gen 4.0
servers and storage arrays to immediately utilize existing PCIe slots and U.2
backplanes while maintaining serviceability with hot-pluggable drives.
Building on
the success of previous Kingston U.2 NVMe SSDs, the new DC1500M drive boasts
advanced enterprise-class features to enhance long-term performance in
high-availability environments. These include end-to-end data path protection,
multiple namespace management, power loss protection (PLP), and telemetry
monitoring for increased data center reliability.
DC1500M
joins the DC1000B NVMe boot
drive, the VMware Ready™
DC500 series SATA SSDs
and DC450R to form
the most complete range of superior enterprise-class data center storage
solutions on the market.
The drives
are backed by Kingston’s legendary pre- and post-sales support and a five-year
limited warranty1. DC1500M is available in 960GB, 1.92TB, 3.84TB and
7.68TB capacities2. For more information, visit kingston.com.

Warranty/support6:
Limited 5-year warranty with free technical support
1 Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device
is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data
storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than
what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Guide
at kingston.com/flashguide.
2 Workload based on FIO, Random 4KB QD=1 workload,
measured as the time taken for 99.9 percentile of commands to finish the
round-trip from host to drive and to host.
3 Measurement taken once the workload has reached
steady state but including all background activities required for normal
operation and data reliability.
4 Based on 1920GB capacity.
5 Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD) derived from the JEDEC
Enterprise Workload (JESD219A).
6 Limited warranty based on 5 years or when the usage
of an NVMe SSD as indicated by Kingston’s implementation of the health
attribute “Percentage Used” reaches or exceeds a normalized value of one
hundred (100) as indicated by the Kingston SSD Manager (kingston.com/SSDManager).
For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value of 0,
whereas a product that reaches it warranty limit will show a Percentage Used
value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
