Kingston DC500M 480GB, 2,5", SATAIII, SEDC500M/480G

Data Center DC500 Enterprise Solid-State Drives (SSDs)  

Kingston’s Data Center 500 series (DC500R/DC500M) are high performance 6Gbps SATA SSD using the latest 3D TLC NAND designed for read-centric and mixed-use server workloads. They implement strict QoS requirements to ensure consistent random I/O performance as well as predictable latencies over a wide range of read and write workloads. On-board Power Loss Protection (PLP) with power capacitors ensures that data-in-flight is written to the NAND to reduce the likelihood of data corruption.  

Features:

• Predictable random I/O performance and latencies over a wide range of workloads
• Read-centric design for performance in high read intensive workloads (DC500R)
• Mixed-use design for balanced performance in high read/write intensive workloads (DC500M)
• I/O Consistency and Low Latency
• On-board (PLP) power loss.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:  

• Optimised for read-intensive applications (DC500R) — The responsiveness that results from low latency and consistent I/O performance delivers the QoS that businesses need for demanding read-centric workloads.
• Optimised for mixed-use applications (DC500M) — An exceptional balance of consistent I/O delivery and high read and write IOPS performance to manage a wide range of transactional workloads.
• Reduce application latencies — Data centres that host databases and various web-based applications can leverage the predictable I/O and latency performance.
• Data Integrity Protection — ECC protection with advanced read/disturb management safeguards against data corruption for end-to-end data protection.
• On-board Power Loss Protection (PLP) — Reduce the possibility of data loss and/or corruption upon ungraceful power-failure via power capacitors and firmware.

    1. 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. 2. Workload based on FIO, random 4KB QD=1 workload, measured as the time taken for 99.9% of commands to finish the round-trip from host to drive and to host. 3. Measurement taken once the workload has reached a steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability. 4. Based on 960GB capacity. 5. Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Enterprise Workload (JESD219A). 6. Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD). 7. Limited warranty based on 5 years or SSD “Life Remaining”, which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager (kingston.com/SSDManager). A new, unused product will show a wear indicator value of one hundred (100), whereas a product that has reached its?endurance limit of program erase cycles will show a wear indicator value of one (1).
