Kingston has introduced the DC3000ME, an enterprise SSD with 30.72 TB capacity featuring a PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface in U.2 form factor. This drive targets data centers, artificial intelligence, HPC, and databases, leaving gamers out. Its capacity and speed place it in a very different segment from conventional gaming.
3D eTLC NAND technology and 14 GB/s performance 🚀
The DC3000ME uses 3D eTLC NAND memory to achieve sequential reads of up to 14 GB/s, far above consumer SSDs. It is designed to handle intensive read and write workloads, with durability suited for server environments. Its U.2 form factor allows integration into enterprise systems without the need for adapters.
Not suitable for your RGB gaming PC 😅
If you were thinking of mounting this 30 TB monster in your tower with LED fans, better forget it. This SSD does not come with a giant heatsink or RGB, and your motherboard probably doesn't even have a U.2 connector. Plus, at an estimated price of several thousand euros, it's more likely your bank will approve a mortgage loan than a purchase of this drive.
