Kingston today announced KC1000 NVMe PCIe SSD, a M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD significantly faster compared to SATA-based SSDs, available in capacities of up to 960GB.
Shipping in mid-June, the M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD is over 2x faster than SATA-based SSDs and over 40x faster than a 7200RPM hard-disk drive. The drive delivers up to 290,000 IOPS and will ship in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities. It is based on the Phison PS5007-E7 controller and uses MLC NAND.
The high-performance SSD supports the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and the latest NVMe protocol. It is backed by a limited five-year warranty.
