DC400 SSD is an entry-level enterprise drive designed for server use in data centers especially for customers who deploy a rip-and-replace strategy. It is for read-intensive applications such as boot, web servers and lower data rate operational databases and analytics – especially in data center mixed workload environments where endurance and reliability are important.

DC400 SSD offers superior QoS for data center customers whose workload environment calls for sustained IO/s and consistent low latency. An expanded on-board DRAM acceleration cache enables high, sustained IO/s to increase performance over a wide range of R/W workloads. Standard as well as user-adjustable over-provisioning improves random IO/s performance and endurance while enterprise firmware improves latency and delivers consistently low data access times under steady-state workloads. Additionally, DC400 SSD features enterprise reliability with end-to-end data path protection and firmware-implemented power-loss protection (‘pFAIL’).

Kingston is proud to offer our next generation entry-level enterprise SATA SSD to our data center and corporate customers looking for consistent application perfomance, stringent QoS requirements and ll-around reliability,” said Ariel Perez, manager, SSD business, Kingston. “DC400 SSD’s combination of high IO/s, low latency and advanced data protection gives server IT managers nd decision makers the perfect front-lading server storage option that they can deploy with confidence.

DC400 SSD is available in 400, 480, 800, 960GB, 1.6 and 1.8TB capacities (2). The 400GB, 800GB and 1.6TB capacities are performance optimized with greater IO/s for faster application performance and reduced storage latency. The 1.8TB capacity read-intensive optimized model is factory-tune,or read-intensive workloads.

(1) Limited warranty based on five years or SSD ‘Life Remaining’ which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager (kingston.com/SSDManager). A new, unused product will show a wear indicator value of one hundred (100), whereas a product that has reached its endurance limit of program erase cycles will show a wear indicator value of one (1). See for details
(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 company’s Flash memory Guide.
(3) Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Enterprise Workload (JESD219A).
(4) Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD)
(5) Workload based on FIO, Random 4KB QD=1 workload, measured as the time taken for 99.9 percentile of commands to finish the round-trip from host to drive and to host.
(6) Measurement taken once the workload has reached steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability.
