Enterprise SATA SSD for mixed workloads

The Kingston SEDC600M/960G is a 960 GB 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive built for server and storage arrays. It uses 3D TLC NAND and includes hardware-based power loss protection plus 256-bit AES self-encryption. The drive targets mixed read-write environments that demand consistent latency and data integrity.

1 DWPD endurance with 1752 TBW rating

Endurance is specified at one full drive write per day over five years, totalling 1752 terabytes written. This figure determines whether the drive suits your write-intensive application profile. Workloads that exceed this daily write volume will require a higher endurance tier.

Sustained performance within thermal limits

Sequential throughput reaches up to 560 MBps read and 530 MBps write while random 4 KB performance delivers up to 94,000 read IOPS and 65,000 write IOPS. Average active power stays at 1.45 W with peaks of 3.6 W during write bursts. The drive operates continuously from 0 °C to 70 °C and carries a 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating.

Questions about this item

What does the 560 MB/s read speed mean once the drive is installed in a server?

The 560 MB/s sequential read is the SATA 6 Gb/s interface limit; real workloads will hit that ceiling on large-block transfers but random reads top out at 94,000 IOPS.

How does the SATA 6 Gb/s interface cap performance in practice?

The 600 MB/s bus ceiling limits sequential reads to 560 MB/s and writes to 530 MB/s; latency stays below 130 µs read and 70 µs write.

What does the 2.5-inch form factor need to fit in a server chassis?

A standard 2.5-inch drive bay with SATA data and power connectors; the drive draws up to 3.6 W during writes and operates from 0 °C to 70 °C.
