Key Feature Bullet Points (Newegg Standard Format)

1. EnterpriseStandard M.2 2280 FormFactor: Compact 80×22 mm footprint, singlesided layout with integrated aluminum heatsink, fits standard PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 slots on rackmount servers and industrial workstations; backwardcompatible with PCIe 3.0
2. HighSpeed PCIe 4.0 NVMe EnterpriseClass Performance: Peak sequential read speed up to 7000MB/s, optimized for steadystate lowlatency I/O operation, delivers stable and predictable performance for server bootup and caching workloads
3. HardwareBased PowerLossProtection (PLP): Onboard powerhold capacitor preserves inflight cached data during sudden power failure, drastically reduces risk of file corruption and data loss in missioncritical server environments
4. EnterpriseGrade Endurance: 350TBW & 0.4 DWPD: Highquality 3D TLC NAND flash with 350TBW totalbyteswritten rating and 0.4 DriveWritesPerDay endurance, built for longterm 24/7 continuousoperation datacenter workloads
5. Integrated Aluminum Heatsink & Optimized Thermal Design: Preinstalled lowprofile aluminum heat spreader improves heat dissipation, maintains consistent operating temperatures for sustained 24hour server runtime
6. LowLatency Boot & CachingOptimized Workload: Firmware tuned for minimal access latency and excellent IOPS consistency, ideal for server boot volumes, hypervisor storage and highspeed application caching tasks

Detailed DescriptionCompact M.22280 EnterpriseOptimized FormFactor

Kingston DC2000B 480GB adopts singlesided M.22280 PCB design with factoryintegrated aluminum heatsink. Its slim M.2 footprint helps conserve valuable 2.5inch frontdrive bays inside rackmount server chassis. While backwardcompatible with PCIe 3.0 hardware, maximum 7000MB/s peak read performance can only be unlocked with a PCIe 4.0enabled host platform.

PCIe 4.0 NVMe SteadyState LowLatency Performance

Optimized for enterpriselevel steadystate workloads, the DC2000B 480GB delivers sequential read speeds reaching up to 7000MB/s. Rather than prioritizing shortburst consumeroriented peak writes, this drive is firmwarecalibrated to maintain stable, lowlatency I/O responses during extended 24/7 server runtime, ensuring reliable bootup and fast caching performance for multiuser server environments.

HardwarePowered PowerLossProtection (PLP)

One of its core enterprisegrade features is hardwarelevel powerloss protection. Builtin energystorage capacitors supply temporary backup power during sudden power cuts, allowing the SSD to complete ongoing write operations and safely commit cached data to flash memory. This feature greatly mitigates the risk of data corruption, a critical safeguard for missioncritical datacenter deployments.

Reliable 3D TLC Flash & 24/7 Endurance Rating

Equipped with durable 3D TLC NAND, the 480GB variant carries an official endurance rating of 350TBW and 0.4 DWPD over its service life. This enterprise endurance specification is engineered for continuous, roundtheclock server workloads, delivering dependable longterm operation for business infrastructure.

PreAttached Integrated Aluminum Heatsink

The builtin lowprofile aluminum heatsink improves passive thermal dissipation during prolonged highI/O server workloads. Stable operating temperatures help sustain consistent performance and extend SSD service life, removing the requirement for additional thirdparty cooling hardware in most standard server M.2 bays.

Ideal EnterpriseLevel Server Boot and Caching Storage

DC2000B is purposebuilt as a bootdrive and caching SSD for rackmount servers, hypervisor hosts and specialized industrial systems. It excels for OSonSSD server installations, virtual machine boot volumes and highspeed application cache workloads, making it a trusted compactformfactor storage upgrade for datacenter and enterprise IT environments.

Purchase Notes

1. Full PCIe4.0 peakread performance requires motherboard/host controller support for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe; throughput will be limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds on older hardware.
2. This is an enterpriseoptimized boot & caching SSD, not intended for highthroughput consumer gaming workloads.
3. Verify M.2 bay height clearance inside your server chassis before installation, due to the factoryfitted heatsink.
4. Backup all vital businesscritical data before deploying or replacing server storage hardware.
5. Limited 5year manufacturer enterprise warranty applies (coverage governed by TBW or time limit, whichever comes first).
