DC600M Series 2.5” SATA Enterprise SSD

6Gbps SATA 3.0 storage for mixed-use server workloads

Security Features
Capacity

    Kingston’s DC600M SSD Series provides high-performance storage solutions for data centers, system integrators and more. Delivering consistent latency and reliability, the drives were designed for mixed-use workloads, featuring 3D TLC NAND, hardware-based power loss protection and capacities of up to 7.68TB, making them ideal for enterprise applications. For additional security, DC600ME is available with AES 256-bit encryption and supports TCG OPAL 2.0 security standards.

    Kingston’s DC600M and DC600ME SSDs are fourth-generation data center SATA 3.0, 6Gbps SSDs utilising 3D TLC NAND intended for “mixed use” server workloads. Both are well suited for a wide variety of server applications and include on-board power loss protection via hold-up capacitors. DC600M and DC600ME are designed to protect data against unexpected power failure and to ensure the drive will successfully reinitialise on the next power-up of the system. Designed to deliver low latency and IO consistency for system integrators, hyperscale data centers and cloud service providers.

    DC600ME features AES 256-bit encryption and supports TCG OPAL 2.0 security standards.
