CES 2018 Kingston Products

Kingston Nucleum

Introducing the Kingston Nucleum, a 7-1 Type-C media hub that extends functionality of newer MacBooks, which have a limited number of USB Type-C ports that will be available later this year in selective regions, simply put it’s ideal for Macs (lol). It will join Bolt, the USB Flash drive that expands iPhone and iPad storage, as part of their mobile lifestyle line. Providing a real value to Macbook users who wants to expand their system port selection.

Design wise, Kingston has done a good job in getting the Nucleum looking like it was made for the Macbook with a sleek black and silver styling that reminds most of us of Apple laptop.

It is backed by a two-year warranty, free live technical support and Kingston assurance.

Kingston DCU1000

Up next, is Kingston’s new DCU1000. It is a multi-drive PCIe NVMe U.2 SSD in a 10-bay 1U rack-mount server that shows the ability to scale and achieve ultra-high performance as U.2 server bays enter the mainstream market this year.

A total of 40 physical SSDs are attached to the 10-bay demo. In addition, at the conference, the DCU1000 and DCP1000 NVMe demoed showed playback, editing and color grading of 8K RED Raw and 4K 16-bit float EXR footage in real-time.

Besides these two, they showcased the upcoming UV500 SATA SSD family (2.5″, M.2, and mSATA) featuring 3D NAND, self-encryption and TCG Opal enabled.

In addition, they also previewed the entry-level and forthcoming A1000 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD that shows consumers the benefits of PCIe performance over SATA.

Pokdepinion: So, if you are a Mac user, get that Nucleum to get the best out of your system. Well, that’s if you have the budget for it, and so far we haven’t got the exact figure on how much it will be priced at. So, waiting game it is.
