Kingston’s DC600M SSD Series are 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 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 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.
