Product Description:
SSDs for the enterprise data centre
Kingston's Data Center 500 series (DC500R and DC500M) are high-performance SATA SSDs with a 6Gb/s interface that incorporate the latest 3D TLC NAND and are designed for read-oriented and mixed-use server workloads. They implement Kingston's stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements to ensure predictable random input and output performance and predictable low latency across a wide range of read and write workloads. They can increase productivity in artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, software defined storage, operational databases, database applications and data warehousing.

Data Centre DC500 Enterprise Solid-State Drives
DC500M: Mixed-use SSD
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.
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 onboard 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.
Quality of Service (QoS)
The DC500 Series delivers on QoS (2 , 3 , 4 ) with consistency, predictability of latency (response time) and IOPS (IOs per Second) performance while servicing balanced read and write workloads. Performance predictability is essential for web hosting applications that must deliver on SLAs promised to customers. The DC500 series efficiency produces the reliability needed for web server applications that require read-centric drives or mixed-use intensive workloads where uptime is mission critical.
Application use cases
Designed for service providers running a wide range of customer applications including: - Virtualisation - High-speed databases - High-bandwidth media streaming - SQL server reporting services (SSRS) - SAP - BI, ERP, CRM, GL, OLAP, OLTP, ERM and EDW workloads - Cloud service providers
Both DC500R and DC500M feature enterprise-class reliability with end-to-end data path protection, SMART health monitoring and strong ECC. They are backed by legendary pre and post-sales support along with a five-year limited warranty.
