Computex 2017 - Kingston

During our brief visit to Kingston, we saw the unreleased DCU1000 SSD paired in a RAID configuration with the DCP1000 (a currently shipping product).

Both feature four separate SSDs with an internal RAID 0 setup and target enterprise users. The DCP1000 comes in a PCI-E add-in-card form factor with a PCI-E 3.0 x8 interface and comes in capacities up to 8TB. The DCU1000 currently has no release date or price, but it will use a PCI-E 3.0 x4 U.2 interface and thus comes in a 2.5” form factor. Capacities will reach 4TB with this SSD. The demo rig showed Kingston achieving close to 2 million IOPS with the two drives RAIDed.

Kingston is also set to release the KC1000 PCI-E 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD, which this time will target the consumer rather than the enterprise markets. Speeds are where you would expect them to be for a drive of this calibre, although Kingston said it is still working to improve performance further. It doesn't have too much time left, however, as the KC1000 will come out in June in capacities up to 960GB. Pricing was not confirmed.
