Data Centre 450 and 500 Series
DC450R and both DC500R and DC500M feature enterprise-class reliability with end-to-end data path protection, SMART health monitoring and strong ECC. They’ve got read-centric design for performance in high read-intensive workloads (DC450R, DC500R) and mixed-use design for balanced performance in high read/write-intensive workloads (DC500M). They implement strict QoS requirements to ensure predictable random I/O performance as well as predictable low latencies over a wide range of read and write workloads. Included on-board power-loss protection (PLP) via power capacitors. This ensures data-in-flight is written to the NAND Flash memory and safeguards reduce the chance of data loss.
Enterprise Data Centre SSD
Delivering on business demands for 24/7 uptime and reliability, Kingston Enterprise SSDs offer high-performing storage that combines predictable performance with rigorously tested reliability. Kingston’s DC500, among with DC450R, Series SSDs offer features that enable data centres to select the most cost-effective SSD for their workload(s). Businesses require results in order to deliver on products, solutions and service level agreements (SLAs). Kingston’s DC500, among with DC450R, Series SSDs are designed to deliver on these expectations.
End-to-end Protection
The DC500 series SSDs incorporate end-to-end data path protection to help guarantee that all user data transferred into the SSD is protected against transient errors. The DC500R and DC500M both include on-board power-loss protection (PLP) via power capacitors and firmware. This ensures data-in-flight is written to the NAND Flash memory in the event of unexpected power loss. Additionally, PLP ensures that the drives’ mapping table (FTL) is updated prior to power being removed from the drive. These power loss safeguards reduce the chance of data loss and ensure that the drive will successfully re-initialise on the next power-up of the system. DC450R has ECC protection with advanced read/disturb management safeguards against data corruption for end-to-end data protection.
Real-time results with big data.
Responsiveness resulting from low latency and consistent I/O performance delivers the QoS that businesses need for demanding read-centric workloads.
Profound transactional processing
Exceptional balance of consistent I/O delivery and high read and write IOPS performance to manage a wide range of transactional workloads.

KINGSTON DC500R
DC500R is a highly optimised SSD designed for read-centric workloads, enabling data centres to select SSDs tailored for workloads without overspending on more expensive write-intensive SSDs. It delivers I/O speeds and response times (latency) that a data centre can deploy with confidence to ensure high levels of performance in the working application and downstream at the user interface. These are typically defined by applications that require real-time results. Serving large amounts of data and delivering responsive results from a variety of databases and web-based applications can leverage the receptive performance of the DC500R.
KINGSTON DC500M
DC500M is a powerful SSD designed for mixed-use workload applications where the demand has a more balanced mix of read and write operations. It delivers greater write endurance over a wide range of workloads while maintaining the strict performance consistency requirements designed into all of Kingston’s data centre SSDs. Data centres that host databases and various web-based applications can leverage the predictable I/O and latency performance while controlling infrastructure costs.
KINGSTON DC450R
DC450R is designed for read-centric application workloads. This streamlined SSD delivers on performance while providing exceptional I/O and latency predictability, a requirement now amongst data-centre class SSDs. Built to Kingston’s strict QoS requirements, the DC450R is designed to ensure performance consistency over a wide range of read-intensive and read-caching workloads. It enables data centres to select an SSD tailored for workloads without overspending on more expensive write-intensive SSDs.
KINGSTON DC1000M NVMe SSD
The Kingston DC1000M U.2 NVMe SSD features high storage capacity and best-in-class enterprise performance. It offers a high-performance Gen 3.0 x4 PCIe NVMe interface that enables high throughput and low latency on standardised platforms. It’s designed to deliver up to 540K IOPS of random read performance and 3GB/s of throughput. The DC1000M is backed by strict QoS requirements to ensure predictable random IO performance as well as predictable latencies over a wide range of workloads. It’s hot pluggable, which makes the challenge of serviceable PCIe storage an issue of the past. It also features enterprise-class features such as end-to-end data path protection, power loss protection (PLP) and telemetry monitoring for increased data centre reliability.
KINGSTON DC1000B NVMe SSD
Kingston’s Data Centre DC1000B is a high-performance M.2 (2280) NVMe PCIe SSD using the latest Gen 3.0 x 4 PCIe interface with 64-layer 3D TLC NAND. DC1000B offers data centres a cost-effective boot drive solution with the reassurance that they are purchasing an SSD designed for server use. M.2 NVMe SSDs are evolving within the data centre, providing efficiencies in booting servers to preserve valuable front-loading drive bays for data storage.
