The Kingston SKC2500M8500G is a solid-state drive (SSD) from Kingston that was developed for use in high-performance computer systems. This SSD uses NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) technology and is known for its high performance and reliability. Here is a detailed description of the technical details, features and application areas of this SSD:
Technical Details
1. Capacity:
- 500 Gigabytes (GB). This capacity offers enough space for the operating system, applications and a variety of data, representing a good compromise between price and storage space.
2. Form Factor:
- M.2 2280. The M.2 2280 form factor is the standard for many modern NVMe SSDs and allows compact integration directly on the motherboard or in an M.2 slot.
3. Interface:
- NVMe 1.2. This interface enables a higher data transfer rate and lower latency compared to older interfaces such as SATA. NVMe also offers better performance in parallel I/O operations.
4. Protocol:
- PCIe 3.0 x4. The PCIe 3.0 x4 bus enables quadruple data transfer channels and provides high bandwidth for the SSD, increasing the speed and efficiency of data transfer.
5. Read Speed:
- Up to 1,700 MB/s. This speed enables very fast reads, resulting in fast boot times and speedy access to data.
6. Write Speed:
- Up to 1,500 MB/s. The write speed is also fast, supporting fast data transfers and writes.
7. NAND Flash Technology:
- TLC (Triple-Level Cell). TLC NAND stores three bits per cell and offers a good balance between performance, capacity and cost, although it is slightly less durable compared to MLC (Multi-Level Cell).
8. Controller:
- Kingston Controller. The SSD uses a Kingston proprietary controller known for its reliability and performance. The specific controller may vary by model.
9. Fault Tolerance and Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Typically over 1,500,000 hours. This indicates a high reliability of the SSD.
10. Power Consumption:
- Operating Input: Typically about 3 to 5 watts.
- Idle: Typically about 0.5 to 1 watt. Power consumption is comparable to other NVMe SSDs but offers efficient use of power.
11. Operating and Environmental Conditions:
- Operating Temperature: 0 to 70 °C.
- Storage Temperature: -40 to 85 °C. These temperature ranges ensure the reliable performance of the SSD under different conditions.
