DC600M Series 2.5” SATA Enterprise SSD 6Gbps SATA 3.0 Storage for Mixed-Use Server Workloads

Kingston’s DC600M and DC600ME SSDs are 4th generation data center SATA 3.0, 6Gbps SSDs utilizing 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 re-initialize 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-7.68TB1 to meet your data storage requirements.

  • Designed for data center environments
  • Hardware-based power loss protection
  • Latency and IOPS consistency
  • AES 256-bit Encryption with DC600ME
  • Capacities up to 7.68TB1
