Product Description
Kingston DC600M Series 2.5″ Enterprise SATA SSD – High-Reliability Storage
Kingston DC600M Enterprise 2.5" SATA SSD is engineered for data center environments and mixed‑use workloads where predictable latency and consistent IOPS are critical. The drive combines 3D TLC NAND and hardware-based on-board power loss protection to safeguard data during unexpected power events, while delivering sequential performance up to 560MB/s read and up to 530MB/s write on larger capacities (480GB model listed at 470MB/s write).
Available in capacities up to 7.68TB, the DC600M offers enterprise-grade endurance, QoS optimization for service-level agreements, and optional AES 256-bit hardware encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 on DC600ME variants. Packed with reliability features and a 5‑year limited warranty, it’s suited for system integrators, hyperscale data centers and server RAID environments that require steady performance under sustained load.
Features and Benefits
- Designed for data center environments and mixed‑use workloads with QoS optimization for consistent latency and IOPS.
- 3D TLC NAND with DRAM cache for sustained performance.
- Hardware-based on-board Power Loss Protection (PLP) to protect in-flight data during unexpected power events.
- Sequential performance up to 560MB/s read and up to 530MB/s write (write up to 470MB/s on the 480GB model).
- Capacities ranging from 480GB to 7.68TB to scale server storage.
- Optional AES 256-bit hardware encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 support on DC600ME models for data protection.
- Enterprise endurance ratings (TBW) and a limited 5-year warranty for long-term deployments.

Product Q&A
-
Q: What workloads is the DC600M best suited for?
A: The DC600M is optimized for mixed‑use workloads in data center and enterprise server RAID environments where consistent latency and steady IOPS are required. -
Q: Does the drive protect against sudden power loss?
A: Yes. The DC600M includes hardware-based on-board Power Loss Protection (PLP) using capacitors to help protect in-flight data during unexpected power failures. -
Q: Which capacities and performance can I expect?
A: Capacities range from 480GB up to 7.68TB. Sequential read performance reaches up to 560MB/s; write performance is up to 530MB/s on most larger capacities and 470MB/s on the 480GB model. -
Q: Is hardware encryption available?
A: Yes—DC600ME variants support AES 256-bit hardware encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 standards. Standard DC600M listings may not include hardware encryption. -
Q: What warranty and endurance ratings are provided?
A: Kingston provides a limited 5-year warranty. Endurance (TBW) varies by capacity (for example, 480GB is rated at 876 TBW); see product specification for capacity-specific TBW ratings.

Compatibility
Device Compatibility:
- Compatible with: systems that provide a standard 2.5" SATA drive bay and a SATA III (6 Gb/s) host interface; backwards compatible with SATA II (3 Gb/s). Examples: rack servers, storage arrays, workstation motherboards and enterprise SATA controllers that accept 2.5" SATA SSDs.
Mac:
- No information found regarding explicit macOS version support for Kingston DC600M drives; compatibility is governed by the host system's SATA interface and drivers rather than specific macOS versions. If you need explicit macOS version support, please confirm with Kingston support.
Windows:
- No information found listing specific Windows versions; the drive is compatible with systems running Windows that provide SATA storage support (Windows storage drivers are required). For explicit certified OS versions, consult Kingston technical documentation.
Other OS:
- No information found listing explicit OS version support for Linux, VMware, or other OSes. Compatibility is determined by the host SATA controller and OS storage stack. Contact Kingston for formal OS qualification details.
Interface Requirements:
- SATA Rev. 3.0 (6 Gb/s) host interface recommended; backwards compatible with SATA Rev. 2.0 (3 Gb/s). Not compatible with NVMe-only M.2 slots unless the host provides a 2.5" SATA connector or adapter.
