Kingston Shipping 450R Enterprise 6Gb SATA Up to 3.84TB 2.5-Inch SSD

Kingston Digital, Inc., the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology company, Inc., is shipping the Data Center 450R Enterprise SSD (DC450R), a 6Gb SATA SSD with 3D TLC NAND, designed for read-centric application workloads.

This streamlined server SSD delivers on performance while providing  I/O and latency predictability, a requirement amongst data center Class SSDs. Built to the company’s QoS requirements ^(2,3,4), the DC450R is designed to ensure performance consistency over a range of read intensive and read caching workloads.

It is designed for workloads that require 24/7 uptime and reliability, such as CDN, edge computing applications and an array of SDS architectures. It presents a specifically focused feature set that enables data centers to select a cost effective SSD for their workloads. Businesses require results as they deliver on products, solutions and SLAs and DC450R provides system builders and cloud providers with a performance SSD standard.

“Today’s data centers and workloads demand a strategically optimized SSD designed with a streamlined and focused feature set for read-centric applications,” said Keith Schimmenti, manager, enterprise SSD business, Kingston. “Our DC450R is designed to deliver on these expectations and gives data center managers the ability to select an SSD tailored for workloads without overspending on more expensive write-intensive SSDs. The 450R delivers I/O speeds and predictable low latency to ensure consistent high-levels of performance – both in the working application and downstream at the user interface.“

DC450R is available in from 480, 960GB, 1.92, and 3.84TB ⁽¹⁾ capacities and is backed by a limited 5-year warranty, free technical support and the firm’s reliability.

⁽¹⁾ Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for storage. As such, the actual available capacity for storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to the company’s Flash Guide.
⁽²⁾ Workload based on FIO, random 4KB QD=1 workload, measured as the time taken for 99.9%ile of commands to finish the round-trip from host to drive and to host.
⁽³⁾ Measurement taken once the workload has reached steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability.
⁽⁴⁾ Based on 960GB capacity.
⁽⁵⁾ Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD) derived from the JEDEC Enterprise Workload (JESD219A).
⁽⁶⁾ Limited warranty based on 5 years or SSD ‘Life Remaining’ which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager. A new, unused product will show a wear indicator value of 100, whereas a product that has reached its endurance limit of program erase cycles will show a wear indicator value of one (1).
