The cryptographic functionalities, mentioned in the present section, are implemented in the firmware of the

product. The cryptographic functions of the firmware can only be changed during the manufacturing process and

cannot be changed by a regular user. The product is designed for installation by the user by following the step-

by-step instruction from the installation user guide, supplied with the product, and, thereby, can be used without

further substantial support of the supplier.

The SSD is designed for use in desktop and notebook computer workloads and is not intended for

Server environments.

1. Based on “out-of-box performance” using a PCIe 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software,

and usage. IOMETER Random 4K Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.

2. 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 memory guide at kingston.com/flashguide.

3. Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).

4. Limited warranty based on 5 years or “Percentage Used” which can be found using 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 its warranty limit will show a Percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one

hundred (100). See Kingston.com/wa for details.
