Enterprise 2.5" SATA SSD

The Kingston SKC600/2048G is a 2TB internal solid state drive built for enterprise workloads. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor with a SATA III interface and 3D TLC memory components. A SM2259 controller and 2GB DRAM cache support the rated performance figures.

Suits SATA bays needing sustained throughput

This drive fits systems with a 2.5 inch SATA bay that can use up to 550 MBps sequential read and 520 MBps sequential write. Random performance reaches 90,000 IOPS read and 80,000 IOPS write. Environments requiring PCIe bandwidth or a different physical connector should select another part.

SATA III interface decides compatibility

The drive connects through a standard SATA III link, so the host must provide a matching SATA port and 2.5 inch mounting space. Sequential and random speeds, MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, and 20G vibration resistance are all specified for this interface.
