A U. 2 SSD is a high-performance data storage device with a small form factor (SFF) connector that is compatible with both regular SAS and SATA-based spinning discs and solid-state drives (SSDs) as well as the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface.
The U.2 connector offers four PCI Express lanes by using the available pins differently than the SATA Express device plug, although sharing a mechanical similarity with it. Although the U.2 standard does not specify a form factor for the device it is used on, in reality, 2.5″ SSDs are the only devices that support it. Physically, 2.5″ drives tend to be bigger than M.2 drives, and they can hold more data.
The Global U.2 SSD market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The newest U.2 data centre NVMe PCIe SSD from Kingston is the DC1500M, and it was developed with cloud service providers, hyperscale data centres, and enterprise-level IT on-premise systems in mind. As a reasonably priced enterprise SSD, the DC1500M is the perfect option for businesses looking to switch from SATA/SAS SSDs to NVMe in order to take advantage of the interface’s significantly higher data transfer rates and lower latency.
The DC1500M has capacities ranging from 960GB to 7.68TB and employs a Gen 3.0 x4 interface. The sophisticated enterprise-class capabilities that are included with the Kingston DC1500M drive help to improve long-term performance in high-availability settings.
Highlights include power loss protection (or PLP) to prevent data damage during unanticipated power outages, multiple namespace management to prevent naming collisions, and telemetry monitoring for remote SSD monitoring.
End-to-end data route protection ensures the integrity of data transport. The new DC1500M from Kingston also has a strong emphasis on endurance and long-term performance, offering 1 DWPD for five years and 1.6 DWPD for three years.
The DC1500M from Kingston is a straight replacement for the DC1000M, a drive that was introduced in Summer 2020 and provided decent performance, capacity, and value for a variety of use cases. Kingston claims that the DC1500M will consistently achieve read and write latencies of less than 110 s and 206 s, respectively, in terms of performance.
