Enterprise SATA SSD for data centres

The Kingston SEDC600ME/960G is a 2.5 inch solid-state drive built for mixed-use server and data-centre workloads. It delivers 960 GB of 3D TLC storage over a SATA III interface with hardware-based power-loss protection and 256-bit AES encryption.

Verify SATA power and bay clearance

Confirm the host system provides a standard SATA data connector and a 5 V power rail capable of 3.6 W peak write draw. The 7 mm z-height fits typical 2.5 inch hot-swap trays; check tray depth against the 69.9 mm length before ordering.

Integrates with RAID controllers and backplanes

The drive operates from 0 °C to 70 °C and tolerates 2.17 G vibration during operation, suiting dense rack deployments. Its 1.3 W idle power and 2,000,000 hour MTBF reduce cooling load and replacement cycles while the SATA 600 interface keeps cabling simple.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch SATA drive ship with a mounting bracket or power cable, or must those be sourced separately?

The drive is supplied as the bare 2.5-inch unit only; brackets, screws and SATA power or data cables are not included and must be purchased separately if the server chassis does not already provide them.

How do I decide between the 960 GB model and the larger capacities that go up to 7.68 TB?

Choose the 960 GB version when the workload fits within its 1,752 TBW endurance rating and the budget or bay count favours a smaller drive; step up to a higher capacity only if the application needs more space or a higher total write budget.

What does the 560 MB/s sequential read figure mean once the SSD is installed in a live server?

It represents the peak throughput the controller can deliver over the SATA 600 interface under ideal conditions; real-world speeds will be lower due to queue depth, mixed workloads and system overhead.
