Kingston DC600M 960 GB Enterprise SATA SSD
Overview
The Kingston DC600M is a fourth-generation, mixed-use enterprise SATA 3.0 SSD series engineered for data center workloads. The 960 GB model combines high-density 3D TLC NAND with on-board power-loss protection via hold-up capacitors to safeguard data during unexpected outages and ensure successful re-initialization on next power-up.
Key Features
- 2.5 in form factor with SATA Rev. 3.0 (6 Gb/s) interface, backward compatible with SATA 2.0
- 3D TLC NAND and DRAM cache for sustained performance
- Hardware-based power-loss protection (PLP) via onboard capacitors
- Designed for mixed-use server workloads, RAID arrays, hyperscale and cloud environments
- Enterprise SMART monitoring with static and dynamic wear-leveling
