Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe compatible with my motherboard?

The Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe SSD uses a M.2 (2280) form factor with PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe interface. It is compatible with any motherboard that has a matching M.2 (2280) slot. This includes AMD AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1851/LGA 1700 platforms. PCIe is backward-compatible, so older PCIe generation slots will work at reduced bandwidth.

Can I use the Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe in a laptop?

Yes, if your laptop has an M.2 2280 NVMe slot. Some laptops use shorter M.2 2230 or M.2 2242 form factors — the Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe SSD requires the standard 2280 (80mm) length slot.

What is the endurance rating of the Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe?

The Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe SSD is rated for 350 TBW with a 2,000,000 hours MTBF, backed by a 5-year limited warranty. At typical consumer usage of ~50 GB/day, this provides years of reliable operation.

How fast is the Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe?

The Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe SSD delivers Up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read and Up to 800 MB/s sequential write speeds. Random I/O performance: 530,000 read IOPS and 32,000 write IOPS.

What type of NAND does the Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe use?

The Kingston DC2000B 480GB NVMe SSD uses 3D TLC NAND (112L) flash memory with 480GB storage capacity. TLC NAND offers a good balance of performance, endurance, and cost.
