2.5 inch U.2 enterprise SSD with silver metal casing and gold edge connector

Kingston Technology Corp.

Kingston Technology Corp. SEDC3000ME/15T3 enterprise SSD 15.36TB U.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe

SKU CH-47D1-ZN7T4 MPN SEDC3000ME/15T3

2.5-inch U.2 enterprise SSD delivering 15.36TB capacity with PCIe 5.0 NVMe speeds up to 14000 MBps read and 9700 MBps write, plus 28032TB endurance and AES 256-bit encryption

  • Form Factor2.5" U.2
  • Capacity15.36TB
  • Memory Components3D eTLC
  • InterfacePCI-Express 5.0 x4
  • Max Sequential ReadUp to 14000 MBps
  • Max Sequential WriteUp to 9700 MBps

Options 15.36TB

  • 36 TB capacity supports massive datasets
  • PCIe 5.0 x4 interface delivers up to 14000 MB/s sequential read speed
  • 7 million random read IOPS accelerates latency-sensitive workloads
  • 28032 TB written endurance rating sustains heavy write cycles
  • AES 256-bit encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 protects data at rest

Capacity and role

This 15.36TB enterprise SSD is built for servers and data centres that need high-density storage with PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe performance. It targets mixed read and write workloads such as AI, HPC, cloud services and edge computing where consistent throughput matters.

Build and connectivity

The 2.5 inch U.2 form factor fits standard hot-swap bays and backplanes, while on-board power loss protection guards in-flight data during unexpected outages. AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 security operate without host CPU overhead.

Endurance constraint

Rated at 1 DWPD the drive delivers 28032TB total bytes written over its lifetime, making it suitable for write-intensive but not extreme-write applications; workloads exceeding one full drive write per day should evaluate higher-endurance alternatives.

Highlights

Questions about this item

What does the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface cap sequential throughput at?

The PCIe 5.0 x4 interface supports up to 14000 MBps sequential read and 9700 MBps sequential write.

What physical slot and clearance does the 2.5" U.2 drive require?

The drive fits a 2.5-inch U.2 bay with a PCIe 5.0 x4 backplane connection.

How is the drive installed and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive into the U.2 hot-swap bay until the connector seats, then secure the retention latch; the latch is often left unlatched.
