Kingston DC3000ME 7.68TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe U.2 SSD SEDC3000ME/7T6

Kingston DC3000ME 7.68TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe U.2 SSD SEDC3000ME/7T6 in Dubai

Overview:

The Kingston DC3000ME SEDC3000ME/7T6 is an enterprise‑class PCIe Gen 5 NVMe solid state drive designed for high‑capacity, low‑latency storage in data center and server environments. It is deployed by systems architects, storage engineers, and IT infrastructure teams where sustained throughput, predictable performance, and high endurance are critical for mission‑critical workloads.

This SSD uses a PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe interface and is delivered in a U.2 form factor, making it suitable for modern server backplanes and high‑performance computing platforms. It has sustained sequential read speeds up to ~14,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to ~10,000 MB/s, supporting consistent I/O delivery for demanding transaction‑heavy and data‑intensive applications.

With a storage capacity of 7.68 TB, this model fits large data sets for database operations, virtualization, AI/ML workloads, and large‑scale file stores without frequent storage re‑provisioning. It incorporates features such as on‑board power loss protection (PLP) to help maintain data integrity during unexpected power events, and AES 256‑bit hardware encryption (TCG Opal 2.0) to safeguard sensitive data at rest.

The DC3000ME is designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of enterprise workloads including cloud service infrastructure, online transactional processing (OLTP), edge computing, and software‑defined storage. Its architecture is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 backplanes, simplifying deployment in mixed‑generation systems.

This device is not suited for consumer desktop use or embedded client devices due to its U.2 server‑oriented form factor and lack of adapter support in typical client hardware. It also does not include RAID controller features, meaning RAID implementations must be handled at the host level or via external controllers.

Typical Deployment Scenarios:

• Database servers requiring high throughput and low latency
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• AI/ML model training and inference data sets
• High‑performance cloud service storage tiers
• Edge compute servers with local durable storage
