Optimized for read-intensive applications (DC500R)

— Responsiveness from low latency and consistent I/O

performance delivers businesses the QoS needed in demanding

read-centric workloads.

Optimized for mixed-use applications (DC500M) — An

exceptional balance of consistent I/O delivery and high read

and write IOPS performance to manage a wide range of

transactional workloads.

1. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data

storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information,

go to Kingston’s Flash Guide at kingston.com/ ashguide.

2. Workload based on FIO, Random 4KB QD=1 workload, measured as the time taken for 99.9 percentile of commands to nish the

round-trip from host to drive and to host.

3. Measurement taken once the workload has reached steady state but including all background activities required for normal

operation and data reliability.

4. Based on 960GB capacity.

5. Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Enterprise Workload (JESD219A).

6. Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD).

7. Limited warranty based on 5 years or when the usage of an NVME SSD as indicated by Kingston’s implementation of the Health

attribute “Percentage Used” reaches or exceeds a normalized value of one hundred (100) as indicated by the Kingston SSD

Manager (kingston.com/SSDManager). For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value of 0, whereas

a product that reaches it warranty limit will show a Percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).

SPECIFICATIONS

FEATURES / BENEFITS

Reduce application latencies — Data center’s hosting databases and

various web-based applications can leverage the predictable I/O and

latency performance.

Data Integrity Protection — ECC protection with advanced read/

disturb management safeguards against data corruption for end-to-end

data protection.

On-board (PLP) Power Loss Protection — Reduce the possibility of

data loss and/or corruption on ungraceful power-fails via power capacitors

and firmware.
