DC600M

DC600M

Kingston’s DC600M SSD is a fourth-generation data center SATA 3.0, 6Gbps SSD with 3D TLC NAND intended for “mixed use” workloads. The DC600M is suited for use in high-volume rack-mount servers and includes hardware-based on-board PLP. Via power loss capacitors, DC600M protects data against unexpected power failure to reduce the possibility of data loss and ensure that the drive will successfully re-initialise on the next power-up of the system. DC600M is designed to deliver latency and IOPS consistency for system integrators, hyperscale data centers and cloud service providers.

Capacities available from 480GB-7680GB¹ to meet your data storage requirements.
