Enterprise SATA SSD for business workloads

This Kingston 2.5 inch solid-state drive delivers 512GB of storage over a SATA III interface. It uses a Phison 3110 controller and is rated for up to 550 MBps sequential read and 530 MBps sequential write. Random performance reaches 86,000 IOPS read and 88,000 IOPS write.

Suits servers and workstations needing reliable

The drive targets business-class reliability with advanced data protection and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. Power draw is 0.255W idle, 1.220W active read and 3.740W active write. Operates from 0°C to +70°C. Builders requiring a different physical connector or a protocol not listed here should consider other form factors.

512GB capacity decides fit for a given array

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 512GB capacity. It fits 2.5 inch bays with 7.00mm height, 69.85mm width and 100.00mm depth. Vibration tolerance is 2.17G peak operating and 20G peak non-operating.

Questions about this item

How much power does the SKC400S37A/512G draw when writing continuously?

The drive consumes 3.740W during active write operations and 0.255W at idle, so sustained writes keep power draw low for a 2.5" enterprise SSD.

Does this 512GB SATA III drive need a specific controller or hot-swap backplane to work in a server?

It uses a standard SATA III interface and 7 mm 2.5" form factor, so any server bay or HBA that accepts 2.5" SATA drives will support it without extra hardware.

Will the Phison 3110 controller and 86,000 IOPS random read performance work reliably with an older SATA II backplane?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA II ports, though sequential speeds will be limited to the 3 Gbps link while random IOPS and data protection features remain active.
