Kingston launches SSDNow KC400 solid state drive

Source: Kingston.

Kingston, the memory products provider, has announced an addition to its SSDNow family. Designed for enterprise client workloads, the KC400 2.5" solid-state drive (SSD) is 15 times faster* than a hard disk drive delivering consistent performance for both compressible and incompressible data, and improved responsiveness in performance-hungry applications.

KC400 SSD provides excellent data reliability due to a Phison PS3110-S10 eight-channel controller and quad-core processor. The Phison controller enables SmartECC error correction as well as SmartRefresh refreshes of memory blocks to protect against read errors. The drive is able to recover from an unexpected power shutdown via firmware-controlled power loss management. Kingston SSD Manager, a free, downloadable toolbox, monitors drive health, status and disk usage.

“Our latest drive is designed to help business and power users speed up daily tasks and improve productivity,” said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. “Corporate customers should have full confidence in deploying the high-performance KC400 SSD in the workplace with all of the safeguards in place to combat unforeseen data loss.”

*The KC400 is 15x faster than a hard disk drive when compared using the PCMark Vantage Bandwidth Performance Test running on an Asus Z87 Maximus 6 Extreme motherboard.
**Some of the listed capacity on a flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
***Limited warranty based on five years or SSD “Life Remaining,” which can be found using the Kingston SSD Manager.
