The cryptographic functionalities, mentioned in the present section, are implemented in the firmware of the product. The cryptographic functions of the firmware can only be changed during the manufacturing process and cannot be changed by a regular user. The product is designed for installation by the user by following the step-by-step instruction from the installation user guide, supplied with the product, and, thereby, can be used without further substantial support of the supplier.
The SSD is designed for use in desktop and notebook computer workloads and is not intended for Server environments.

1. Based on “out-of-box performance” using a SATA Rev. 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, and usage. IOMETER Random 4k Random Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.
2. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is 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 Memory Guide.
3. Limited warranty based on 5 years or “SSD Life Remaining” which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager. 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). See Kingston.com/wa for details.
4. Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).
