Long Description

Overview:

DC600M Series 2.5" SATA Enterprise SSD 6Gbps SATA 3.0 storage for mixed-use server workloads
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.

Capacities available from 480GB-7.68TB to meet your data storage requirements.

• Designed for data center environments
• Hardware-based power loss protection
