Kingston unleashes KC1000 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive

Storage products manufacturer Kingston has announced the KC1000 NVMe PCIe SSD, an M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD shipping this June.

The KC1000 NVMe PCIe SSD is over twice faster than SATA-based SSDs and over 40x faster than a 7200RPM hard-disk drive. Built for the power user, the KC1000 provides low-latency performance boost and solutions for resource-demanding applications including high-resolution video editing, data visualization, gaming, and other data intensive workload environments.

Also, the KC1000 delivers up to 290,000 IOPS and will ship in mid-June in 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB capacities. The high-performance SSD supports the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and the latest NVMe protocol. It can provide accelerated boot and load speeds and increases sequential read/write performance, as well as offering improved endurance and energy efficiency.
