SSD, KINGSTON, 480 GB, Serial ATA III, 2.5", Write speed 470 MB / s, Read speed 560 MB / s, 876xTBW rating, MTBF 2000000

Kingston's DC600M and DC600ME SSDs are fourth-generation data center SATA 3.0, 6Gbps SSDs utilising 3D TLC NAND intended for "mixed use" server workloads. Both are well suited for a wide variety of server applications and include on-board power loss protection via hold-up capacitors. DC600M and DC600ME are designed to protect data against unexpected power failure and to ensure the drive will successfully reinitialise on the next power-up of the system. Designed to deliver low latency and IO consistency for system integrators, hyperscale data centers and cloud service providers.



DC600ME features AES 256-bit encryption and supports TCG OPAL 2.0 security standards.



Capacities available from 480GB-7.68TB* to meet your data storage requirements.



Designed for data center environments

Optimised to meet the high demands of server RAID applications with low latency and IO consistency as the key design criteria.



Hardware-based PLP

Power loss capacitors to protect user data against unexpected power loss and enhance performance.



Delivers excellent quality of service (QoS)*

Optimised performance predictability to meet

service-level agreements (SLAs).



AES 256-bit Encryption with DC600ME

Protect sensitive data with support for AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 security standards with DC600ME.



Capacities up to 7.68TB

Upgrade and manage storage with capacities up to 7.68TB.*

• Designed for data center environments


• Hardware-based power loss protection


• Latency and IOPS consistency


• AES 256-bit encryption with DC600ME


• Capacities of up to 7.68TB*

*Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and is thus not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston's Flash Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.

** Quality of service (QoS) of an SSD refers to the consistency and predictability of latency (response time) and IOPS (IOs per second) performance while servicing a read/write workload. QoS metrics demonstrate that, given a worst-case workload tested over a period of time, an SSD's latency and IOPS profiles stay within a specified range without having unexpected outliers causing a sudden drop in application performance.

*** Measurement taken once the workload has reached a steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability.

**** Based on 1.92TB capacity.

*****Workload based on FIO, random aligned 4KB QD=1 workload. Quality of service is measured as the time taken for 99.999 percentile of commands to finish the round trip from host to drive and to host. Typical latency is measured as the time taken for 99.9 percentile of commands to finish the round trip from host to drive and to host.
