The Kingston DC600M 960GB is an enterprise SATA SSD designed for mixed-use server workloads. It suits system integrators, data centre operators and businesses that need dependable storage for rackmount servers, cloud services or other always-on systems.

Its hardware-based power loss protection helps protect user data during unexpected power loss, while consistent latency and IOPS support predictable service for workloads with performance targets. The drive uses 3D TLC NAND and connects over SATA 6Gb/s. At this 960GB capacity, sequential read and write speeds are up to 560MB/s and 530MB/s respectively, with endurance rated at 1,752TBW and 1 DWPD over five years.

Key features

• Designed for mixed-use server workloads in data centre environments.
• Hardware-based power loss protection helps reduce the risk of data loss during a power interruption.
• Consistent latency and IOPS help support predictable performance and quality of service.
• Hot-plug capability supports installation and replacement in compatible systems.
• Enterprise SMART tools provide reliability tracking, usage statistics, remaining life, wear levelling and temperature information.
• Static and dynamic wear levelling help manage NAND wear over the drive’s service life.
• Rated endurance of 1752TBW, or 1 drive write per day over five years.

Compatibility

The 2.5 inch drive uses SATA Rev. 3.0 (6Gb/s) and is backwards compatible with SATA Rev. 2.0 (3Gb/s). Check that the server or system has a compatible 2.5 inch drive bay and SATA connection. The DC600M model does not have the AES 256-bit encryption specified for the separate DC600ME variant. Good to know: the drive is a storage component; confirm your system provides the required SATA connection and mounting arrangement before purchase.
