Kingston Digital, Inc. today began shipping the 7.68TB model of the Data Center 500R (DC500R) and 450R (DC450R) SATA SSDs.
The DC1000M 7.68TB U.2 NVMe ships in June. The SSDs provide additional storage and implement strict QoS ensuring predictable IO and low latency for data centers using both NVMe and/or SATA.

Kingston’s 7.68TB data center SSDs include:

DC500R:

VMware Ready SSD engineered for read-intensive applications such as webservers, virtual desktop infrastructure, operational databases and real-time analytics2.
I/O speeds and response times (latency) data centers can deploy with confidence

DC450R:

Specific, focused feature set for read-intensive applications and optimized for data centers looking to not overspend on more expensive write-intensive SSDs.
Designed for content-delivery networks, edge computing applications and a wide array of software-defined storage architectures.

DC1000M:

Hot-pluggable U.2 (2.5″) form factor, allowing integration with latest generation servers and storage arrays currently using PCIe and U.2 backplanes.
Enterprise-grade features such as end-to-end path protection, power-loss protection (PLP) and telemetry monitoring for increased data reliability.

DC500R, DC450R and DC1000M are backed by a limited five-year warranty.
