Kingston SKC3000S/2048G 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD (Channel)

The Kingston KC3000 SKC3000S/2048G is a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD built on the E18 Phison controller and 3D TLC NAND flash, engineered to deliver high-throughput, low-latency storage for demanding enterprise, professional workstation, and data-intensive computing environments. Operating across the PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 protocol support, the drive achieves sequential read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 7,000 MB/s, placing it at the upper tier of consumer-grade and prosumer NVMe performance available in the M.2 2280 form factor.

The SKC3000S/2048G is the channel and variant of the KC3000 lineup, offering the same validated silicon and NAND stack as the retail model in a configuration suited for system integrators and enterprise procurement pipelines. The drive supports hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption, TCG Opal 2.0, and is compatible with eDrive security frameworks, enabling secure data-at-rest compliance for regulated industries. Endurance is rated at 1,600 TBW for the 2TB capacity point, reflecting its suitability for sustained write-intensive workflows beyond typical consumer use.

Targeted at AI inference edge nodes, high-performance workstations, NVMe-accelerated virtualization hosts, and content creation pipelines, the KC3000 2TB excels where PCIe 4.0 bandwidth and high random IOPS are critical. With random read performance up to 1,000,000 IOPS and random write performance up to 1,000,000 IOPS (4K QD256), it supports parallel I/O workloads common in analytics, media production, and dense VM environments. The drive ships without packaging in its/channel configuration, making it efficient for large-scale system integration and datacenter refresh deployments.

Ideal for

• High-performance AI inference edge appliances requiring PCIe 4.0 bandwidth and low read latency for model serving
• Enterprise workstation builds for video editing, 3D rendering, and large-dataset scientific computing workflows
• NVMe-accelerated virtualization hosts where high random IOPS support dense virtual machine storage pools
• Secure government and financial sector deployments leveraging AES 256-bit and TCG Opal 2.0 data-at-rest encryption
• Database caching tiers and fast scratch storage for OLAP or analytics query acceleration
• Large-scale system integration and hardware refresh programs requiring validated bare-drive procurement at 2TB capacity
