The KC1000 will offer three capacities, but six total SKUs; each capacity is available as a bare M.2 drive, or with a half-height, half-length (HHHL) add-in card adapter. While there is no current word on prices, the KC1000 is slated to ship in mid-June.
In other news, Kingston was recently at the 2017 Creative Storage Conference where they purportedly demonstrated “nearly 2 million IOPS.” Details are scarce, but products on showcase were the enterprise/data center SSD, the DCP1000, as well as the 2TB DataTraveler Ultimate GT.
We’re certain to have more Kingston news—in addition to a superfluity of other hardware news—as GN traipses through Computex 2017. Stay tuned to the website, and subscribe to our YouTube channel to catch the latest Computex news.
