Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced KC2500, its next generation M.2 NVMe^™ PCIe SSD 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.

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 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.
