Kingston Data Center DC2000B 480GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Enterprise SSD

The Kingston SEDC2000BM8/480G is an enterprise solid state drive in the M.2 2280 format that gives data centers 480 GB of fast, reliable storage without occupying a front-loading bay. It installs directly on the motherboard or a dedicated carrier, making it an ideal boot or caching volume for rack servers where every 2.5-inch slot is precious.

By leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface and the NVMe protocol, the drive reaches read speeds up to 7000 MB/s and write speeds up to 800 MB/s. Operating systems load quickly, hypervisors spin up in seconds, and frequently accessed datasets move with minimal delay. Administrators who manage virtual machines, container clusters, or high-traffic web servers will appreciate the quick response under sustained workloads.

Reliability is built in. Power Loss Protection keeps in-flight data intact during unexpected outages, reducing the risk of corruption. An integrated aluminum heatsink draws heat away from the controller and NAND so performance stays consistent during heavy I/O bursts in a densely populated chassis.

The endurance rating of 0.4 drive writes per day across a five-year warranty period meets the demands of daily boot cycles, log writes, and application updates common in enterprise environments. Whether the drive hosts a Linux distribution for a microservice node or Windows Server for an Active Directory controller, it delivers predictable performance run after run.

Because the DC2000B line is purpose-built for data centers, firmware updates and health telemetry integrate smoothly with industry management tools, helping IT teams monitor wear levels and plan replacements long before downtime becomes a risk. In short, the SEDC2000BM8/480G offers the speed, durability, and practical form factor that modern server rooms expect from Kingston hardware.
