In recent performance tests conducted by Clubic, the Kingston DC600M 960 GB SSD, part of the company's enterprise-level storage line, was evaluated for its speed and features. The DC600M is a 2.5-inch SATA SSD designed to expand storage capacity in desktop computers or network-attached storage (NAS) systems. It has a compact size—100 mm long, 69.9 mm wide, and 7 mm thick—allowing it to fit into tight spaces inside devices. Weighing just 92 grams, it comes in a small plastic case with no extra accessories included. The SSD uses Kioxia's advanced 112-layer TLC NAND memory chips, which enable data transfer speeds of up to 1,200 million transfers per second (MT/s). The 960 GB version includes ten of these chips. Kingston offers the DC600M in multiple capacities, ranging from 480 GB up to 7.68 TB. All versions use the same Phison PS31112-S12DC-27 controller, manufactured using TSMC’s 28 nm process, and a 2 GB DRAM cache made up of four 512 MB DDR4-3200 memory chips. In testing on a high-end system with an ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 memory, and a Kingston KC3000 2 TB SSD, the DC600M performed as expected. It achieved read and write speeds of up to 560 MB/s and 530 MB/s, respectively, matching the manufacturer's claims. Random read and write operations reached around 100,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS), with random writes at 152 MB/s. Linear write tests using AIDA64 showed an average of 508 MB/s, and file copying via Windows 11 Explorer averaged 534 MB/s for reads and 479 MB/s for writes, showing consistent performance across the entire 960 GB drive. The DC600M comes with a 5-year warranty and is built for durability, making it a good option for business environments where data reliability is key. However, its use of the older SATA interface limits its maximum performance, even though the NAND chips are capable of faster speeds. Despite this, the DC600M delivers steady and dependable performance, making it a solid choice for users who prioritize reliability over the latest technology.
