* 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 Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
** Performance measurement as defined by SNIA Solid State Storage Performance Test Specification Enterprise v1.1; Drive write cache enabled; NVMe power state 0; Sequential workloads measured using FIO with queue depth of 32; Random Read workloads using FIO with queue depth of 128 based on 4K sector size; Random Write workloads measured using FIO with queue depth of 128. Latency values measured with random workloads using FIO, 4KB transfers, queue depth = 1.
*** Measurement taken once the workload has reached steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability.
**** Based on 15.36TB capacity.
***** Total Bytes Written (TBW) & Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD) derived from the JEDEC Enterprise Workload (JESD219A).
****** Limited warranty based on 5 years or when the usage of an NVMe SSD as indicated by Kingston’s implementation of the Health attribute “Percentage Used” reaches or exceeds a normalized value of one hundred (100) as indicated by the Kingston SSD Manager (kingston.com/SSDManager). For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value of 0, whereas a product that reaches it warranty limit will show a Percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
