Consistent SATA storage for mixed-use server workloads
The Kingston DC600M 480GB SEDC600M/480G is designed for data centres, system integrators and server environments that need predictable latency and IOPS. Its enterprise SMART tools, hot-swap capability and onboard power-loss capacitors support operational monitoring and safer recovery after an unexpected power interruption.
Mixed-use enterprise design
The DC600M platform is positioned for server workloads that combine reading and writing.
Hardware power-loss protection
Onboard capacitors help reduce the risk of data loss or corruption during an unexpected power interruption.
Steady-state QoS
The exact capacity has published 99.999th-percentile read/write latency of 180/110 µs.
Capacity-specific endurance
This 480GB model is rated for 876TBW and 1 drive write per day over five years.
Enterprise SMART tools
Reliability, usage, remaining life, wear and temperature can be monitored through supported SMART tooling.
3D TLC with DRAM cache
Kingston specifies 3D TLC NAND and a DRAM cache for the DC600M series.
Who is the Kingston DC600M 480GB SEDC600M/480G best for?
A strong choice for
- Mixed-use server storage
- Data-centre SATA drive replacement
- Rack-mount server environments
- System-integrator deployments
- Applications that benefit from hardware power-loss protection
Consider another model if you need
- You require built-in AES 256-bit or TCG Opal 2.0 encryption
- You need NVMe rather than SATA performance
- Your server compatibility list does not include this exact part number
- Your planned write workload exceeds 876TBW or 1 DWPD
