Kingston DC600M Enterprise 2.5-inch 480GB SATA Internal SSD SEDC600ME/480G

Kingston DC600M Enterprise 2.5-inch 480GB SATA Internal SSD SEDC600ME/480G

The Kingston DC600ME 480GB is a mixed-use enterprise solid-state drive developed for data centres, system integrators, cloud service providers and compatible server environments. Its 2.5-inch SATA design combines 3D TLC NAND, a DRAM cache and consistent I/O performance with hardware-based power-loss protection. This encrypted DC600ME model also supports TCG Opal 2.0 and AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption for organisations that need additional protection for sensitive data.

Enterprise Storage for Mixed-Use Workloads

Designed for mixed-use server workloads, the DC600ME delivers sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 470MB/s. Steady-state 4K random performance of up to 94,000 read IOPS and 41,000 write IOPS supports demanding business applications where predictable storage behaviour is important.

Key Features:

• 480GB enterprise storage capacity for compatible servers, storage platforms and data-centre systems.
• SATA Rev. 3.0 interface operating at up to 6Gb/s, with backwards compatibility for SATA Rev. 2.0 systems.
• 3D TLC NAND and an integrated DRAM cache support consistent mixed-use performance.
• Hardware-based power-loss protection uses hold-up capacitors to help protect user data during an unexpected loss of power.
• TCG Opal 2.0 support and AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption help protect sensitive information.
• Enterprise SMART tools provide access to reliability, usage, remaining-life, wear-levelling and temperature information.
• Rated endurance of 876TBW and one drive write per day over five years for enterprise workloads.

Designed for Data-Centre Environments

The DC600ME is optimised for server RAID applications where low latency and I/O consistency are key design requirements. Its 2.5-inch, 7mm form factor and hot-plug capability make it suitable for supported enterprise systems that use SATA storage infrastructure.

Hardware-Based Power-Loss Protection

On-board hold-up capacitors provide hardware-based power-loss protection. This feature is designed to help protect user data if power is interrupted unexpectedly and to support successful drive reinitialisation when the system is powered on again.

Consistent Quality of Service

The drive is engineered for predictable latency and IOPS consistency, helping system integrators and service providers manage storage performance across mixed-use applications and service-level requirements.

Hardware-Based Data Security

Unlike the standard DC600M, the DC600ME adds AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption and support for the TCG Opal 2.0 security standard. These capabilities provide a suitable foundation for compatible enterprise systems that require managed, self-encrypting storage.

Technical Specifications:

Performance figures are based on Kingston’s testing of the 480GB model. Actual performance may vary according to system hardware, workload and configuration. Some of the stated capacity is used for formatting and other functions, so the available capacity will be lower.
