KC1000 will be available in select retail and online stores from mid-August at Rs 16,000 for 240GB, Rs 26,000 for 480GB and Rs 51,000 for 960GB capacity.


The NVMe PCIe SSD (solid-state drive) claims to be over two times faster than Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)-based storage drives and over 40 times faster than 7,200 RPM hard-disk drive (HDD).


The storage device delivers up to 290,000 IOPS (Input/Output operations per second) and supports PCIe Gen3 x4 interface.


The device will provide users low-latency performance boost for resource-demanding applications such as high-resolution video editing, data visualisation, gaming and other data intensive workload environments.


It also provides accelerated boot and load speeds and increases sequential read/write performance with improved endurance and energy efficiency.


Kingston is offering a five-year warranty on the product.
