Kingston Technology Ships 7.68TB DC500R and DC450R SATA 2.5-Inch SSDs for Data Center

Kingston Digital, Inc., flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., began shipping the 7.68TB⁽¹⁾ model of the Data Center 500R (DC500R) and 450R (DC450R) SATA SSDs.

The DC1000M 7.68TB U.2 NVMe ships in June. The SSDs provide additional storage and implement strict QoS ensuring predictable IO and low latency for data centers using both NVMe and/or SATA.

7.68TB data center SSDs include:

DC500R:
VMware Ready SSD engineered for read-intensive applications such as webservers, virtual desktop infrastructure, operational databases and real-time analytics ⁽²⁾.

I/O speeds and response times (latency) data centers can deploy with confidence, ensuring high levels of performance in the working application and downstream at the user interface.

DC450R:
Specific, focused feature set for read-intensive applications and optimized for data centers looking to not overspend on more expensive write-intensive SSDs.

Designed for content-delivery networks, edge computing applications and an array of SDS architectures.

DC1000M:
Hot-pluggable U.2 (2.5″) form factor, allowing seamless integration with latest generation servers and storage arrays currently using PCIe and U.2 backplanes.

Enterprise-grade features such as end-to-end path protection, power-loss protection (PLP) and telemetry monitoring for increased reliability.

The 3 SSDs join the DC1000B NVMe boot drive, DC500M (for mixed workloads) SATA SSD and Server Premier DRAM to form a complete range of enterprise-class data center storage solutions.

“Higher capacity options for data centers enables organizations to increase storage space in their current footprint as Cloud computing continues to grow at unprecedented levels,” said Keith Schimmenti, business manager, enterprise SSD. “Our evolving line of data center storage solutions serve enterprise customers of all levels from hyperscalers on down and are a key component for organizations to keep the total cost of ownership down.”

DC500R, DC450R and DC1000M are backed by a limited 5-year warranty with free technical support.

⁽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 the company’s Flash Guide.
