Kingston DC500R Enterprise Series 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD 1.92TB

The Kingston Data Center DC500R Enterprise Series 2.5″ SATA III SSD is a high-endurance, read-optimized solid-state drive engineered for mission-critical data center workloads. Built to deliver consistent performance under sustained operational loads, this enterprise SSD combines predictable I/O response, advanced data protection, and robust hardware design to support demanding server and storage infrastructure requirements.

Enterprise-Grade Performance

Designed specifically for read-centric workloads, the DC500R excels in environments where predictable throughput and low latency are critical.

• Sequential Performance: Up to 555 MB/s read and 525 MB/s write over the SATA III interface.

• Random I/O: Steady-state performance achieves approximately 98,000 IOPS (4K read) and 24,000 IOPS (4K write), enabling fast access to small, scattered data sets typical of large-scale applications.

• QoS-Focused Latency: Engineered to deliver consistent latency and steady performance across extended read workloads—essential for database servers, virtualization hosts, and high-throughput analytics.

Architecture & Interface

• Form Factor: Standard 2.5″ SSD with a 7 mm height, making it compatible with a broad range of rack-mount and blade servers.

• Interface: SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA III) with backward compatibility to SATA 3 Gb/s, allowing seamless integration into legacy and modern storage fleets alike.

• NAND Technology: High-density 3D TLC NAND provides an optimal balance of performance, endurance, and power efficiency.

Data Integrity & Protection

Kingston integrates enterprise-level features that elevate reliability and safeguard critical data:

• End-to-End Data Path Protection: Ensures that all data transferred is monitored and protected against transient errors throughout the drive’s internal pathways.

• Power-Loss Protection (PLP): On-board capacitive circuitry flushes in-flight data to NAND in the event of unexpected power loss, reducing the risk of corruption.

• Advanced ECC & Wear-Leveling: Strong error correction and dynamic/static wear-leveling maintain data integrity and prolong drive lifespan under continuous usage.

• Self-Encrypting Drive (SED): AES-256 hardware encryption supports secure data handling for environments with stringent compliance and data sovereignty requirements.
