## Summary description

KINGSTON DC3000ME is an enterprise-grade U.2 NVMe SSD with 15.36 TB capacity, PCIe 5.0 interface and TCG Opal support. Designed for servers and data centers, it delivers up to 14,000 MB/s sequential read and up to 9,700 MB/s sequential write. The U.2 form factor and enterprise features ensure high reliability, performance and security for demanding workloads.

## Long description

KINGSTON DC3000ME U.2 is an enterprise-grade NVMe SSD designed for servers and data centers. It uses a PCIe 5.0 interface (backward-compatible with PCIe 4.0) and 3D eTLC NAND to deliver high capacity and sustained performance for demanding workloads. The drive includes on-board power loss protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption (TCG Opal 2.0) to protect data integrity and security. Typical capacities include 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB and 15.36 TB, and the 15.36 TB model provides up to 14,000 MB/s sequential read and up to 9,700 MB/s sequential write performance.
Advantages
The DC3000ME offers PCIe 5.0 performance with low latency and consistent I/O, high capacity options for large datasets, and enterprise-grade features such as on-board power loss protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption. Its U.2 form factor and compatibility with common server backplanes make it suitable for hyperscale, cloud and enterprise environments. Backward compatibility with PCIe 4.0 allows deployment in mixed-generation infrastructures.
Suitable for
AI inference and training storage tiers
High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
Online transaction processing (OLTP) and databases
Cloud infrastructure and hyperscale data centers
Edge computing and branch servers
Software-defined storage and RAID arrays
When it may not be suitable
This SSD is intended for enterprise server use and may be unnecessary for typical desktop or consumer laptop applications where such high throughput, enterprise management features, and U.2 form factor are not required. Systems without U.2 connectors or without a PCIe 5.0/4.0 compatible backplane may need adapters or different form factors.
Key specifications
Form factor: U.2 (2.5", 6.4 cm)
Interface: PCIe 5.0 NVMe (backward-compatible with PCIe 4.0)
Capacity: 15.36 TB (also available in 3.84 TB and 7.68 TB)
Sequential read: up to 14,000 MB/s
Sequential write: up to 9,700 MB/s
Random read IOPS: up to ~2,800,000
NAND: 3D eTLC
Encryption: AES 256-bit hardware encryption, TCG Opal 2.0
Power-loss protection: on-board PLP
How to use
Install the DC3000ME into a U.2-compatible drive bay or connect via an appropriate backplane or adapter. Ensure the server BIOS/firmware and NVMe drivers support PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0 operation. Use your operating system or storage management tools to initialize, partition and format the drive as required. Enable TCG Opal if hardware-based encryption and key management are needed, and follow your data center procedures for RAID configuration or integration into software-defined storage.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm the server or chassis has a U.2 connector or use a compatible adapter/backplane.
Verify firmware, BIOS and driver support for PCIe 5.0/4.0 NVMe devices.
Check cooling and power delivery in the server to meet enterprise SSD requirements.
Plan encryption key management if using AES 256-bit / TCG Opal features.
Usage recommendations
Use the DC3000ME in enterprise server environments where sustained high throughput, low latency and data protection are required. For best results, pair with compatible backplanes, keep firmware up to date, implement proper cooling, and follow data center procedures for encryption and RAID or storage-tiering configurations.
