SEDC3000ME/7T6 Kingston DC3000ME 7.68TB U.2 NVMe 2.5" SSD

High-Performance 2.5in U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD featuring hardware-based encryption with the Kingston SEDC3000ME/7T6

The Kingston SEDC3000ME/7T6 is a 7.68TB 2.5in U.2 NVMe Self-Encrypting Drive engineered for PCIe 4.0 storage tiers where consistent latency and strong security controls are mandatory. Designed to sit close to CPU memory domains in modern server platforms, the Kingston SEDC3000ME/7T6 sustains high parallel queue depth behavior for virtualisation clusters, software-defined storage, and mixed read/write enterprise services.

With TLC NAND and an onboard 5GB cache, the Kingston SEDC3000ME/7T6 targets predictable performance under sustained workloads, supporting up to 14,000MB/s read and 10,000MB/s write alongside high 4K random throughput. The U.2 form factor aligns with hot-swap backplanes and dense front-access drive bays, enabling scalable capacity growth without sacrificing PCIe lane efficiency. Its 1 DWPD endurance profile is sized for continuous data centre duty cycles, including analytics pipelines and transactional systems that demand stable write behavior.
