Sydney Australia - August 3, 2020: Already making
waves globally, Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and
technology solutions, is excited to announce the awaited arrival of the KC2500 to the Australian market. Arriving
in stores this week, this next generation M.2 NVMe™ PCIe SSD is designed to set
the standard for desktop, workstations and high-performance computing (HPC)
systems.
KC2500 NVMe PCIe SSD delivers powerful performance using the latest Gen 3.0 x 4
controller and 96-layer 3D TLC NAND. With speeds1 up to 3,500MB/s read and up to
2,900MB/s write, KC2500 combines outstanding performance and endurance that
improves workflow for desktop, workstation and power users. This makes it an
ideal SSD for users looking to give their PC a boost in productivity, including
work computing and gaming.
KC2500 is available in capacities up to 2TB2 housed in a compact M.2 2280 form factor that saves space for other components while allowing users to take advantage of PCIe speeds. The self-encrypting SSD supports a full-security suite for end-to-end data protection using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware-based encryption. It allows the usage of independent software vendors with TCG Opal 2.0 security management solutions such as Symantec™, McAfee™, WinMagic® and others. KC2500 has built-in Microsoft eDrive support, a security storage specification for use with BitLocker.
“KC2500 sets a new bar for
high-performance client PC usage, enabling those who demand speed and
reliability to handle intensive workloads on desktops, workstations and for HPC
applications,” said Kingston.
“The compact M.2 form factor and broad range of security and encryption options
provides greater flexibility for organizations who are looking to refresh their
current systems, or for the power user looking to upgrade their current system
with the best that NVMe PCIe SSDs can offer.”
KC2500 is currently available in 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities with 2TB2 shipping soon.
KC2500 is backed by a limited five-year warranty and free technical support.

1 Based on “out-of-box performance” using a PCIe 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, and usage. IOMETER Random 4K Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.
2 Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash memory guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
3 Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).
4 Limited warranty based on 5 years or “Percentage Used” which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager (Kingston.com/SSDManager). For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value of 0, whereas a product that reaches its warranty limit will show a Percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
