DC400 SSD
Reliable high-performance, low-latency
drive built for datacenters.
Kingston’s DC400 SSD oers consistent application performance and low latency
over a wide range of read/write workloads, and standard as well as user-adjustable
over-provisioning to improve random IOPs performance, making it ideal for
datacenters. Its enterprise rmware improves latency and helps DC400 deliver
consistently low data access times under steady state workloads. It’s available
in a Performance-Optimized model with greater IOPs for faster application
performance and reduced storage latency and in a Read-Intensive Optimized
model that’s factory-tuned for read-intensive workloads. All models deliver
enterprise-class reliability with end-to-end data path protection, SmartECC,
SmartRefresh and rmware-controlled power loss management. DC400 is backed
by legendary pre- and post-sales support and a ve-year limited warranty. In
addition, there’s Kingston’s web-based Ask an Expert program, and the SSD
Manager toolbox is available in a free, downloadable application.
