The Kingston DC2000B is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on August 20th, 2024. It is available in capacities ranging from 240 GB to 960 GB. This page reports specifications for the 240 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Kingston DC2000B interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5018-E18DC from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Kingston has installed 112-layer TLC NAND flash on the DC2000B, the flash chips are made by Kioxia. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The DC2000B is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 4,500 MB/s and 400 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 260K for reads and 18K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Kingston guarantees an endurance rating of 175 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
