Kingston DC600M 480GB 2.5" SATA SSD

The Kingston DC600M is a 4th generation enterprise solid-state drive designed for deployment in data centers requiring consistent performance across mixed-use workloads. Utilizing the standardized 2.5-inch form factor with a 7mm height, it offers broad compatibility within existing server and storage infrastructure. It connects via the SATA 6 Gbit/s interface, providing reliable data transfer speeds suitable for server boot, caching, and specific database applications. The internal architecture uses 3D TLC NAND technology to deliver the necessary blend of density and sustained performance required by high-availability systems.

Performance specifications include sequential reading speeds up to 560 MB/s and sequential writing speeds reaching 470 MB/s. Crucially for the enterprise environment, the DC600M integrates Enhanced Power Loss Data Protection (PLP). This feature uses integrated capacitors to maintain power sufficiently long to flush in-flight data to the NAND during an unexpected power interruption. The drive is rated for an endurance of 876 TBW, corresponding to 1.0 drive writes per day (DWPD) over a five-year period, alongside a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 2 million hours.
