Product overview
Kingston lists SKC1000/960G as a 960GB KC1000 M.2 2280 MLC PCIe NVMe SSD. Form factor and connector decide whether a drive physically lands in the bay; this is a M.2 unit, and an adapter that fits mechanically can still cost you hot-swap. Give us the chassis and we will check the carrier as well as the drive.
Tell us the write workload as well as the capacity and we will confirm the endurance class before the quote goes out.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against SKC1000/960G, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Carrier and firmware confirmed
The drive, the caddy it needs and the firmware family the controller expects are all checked as one order.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is SKC1000/960G genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the Kingston warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will SKC1000/960G work in my server?
- Send the server or array model and the controller behind it. We check the carrier, the firmware family and whether the drive is on the platform's supported list — mechanical fit is the easy part.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Training throughput is limited by how fast data reaches the accelerators, which is why AI nodes are specified with NVMe in front of the GPUs.
