The Kingston DC600M is a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor, launched on May 8th, 2023. It is available in capacities ranging from 960 GB to 7.5 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1.9 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Kingston DC600M interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the PS3112-S12DC-27 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Kingston has installed 112-layer TLC NAND flash on the DC600M, the flash chips are made by Kioxia. The DC600M is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and 530 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 94K for reads and 78K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Kingston guarantees an endurance rating of 3504 TBW, a high value.

Notes

Controller:

2 main cores using Cortex-R5 clocked at 666 MHz with CoXProcessor technology (one additional dual-core) Cortex-R5 clocked at a lower clock for better efficience.

NAND Die:

Although this Die is a 4-plane design, most Kioxia BiCS5 NAND Dies used in most SSDs are dual planes design because of Yield and production cost.
And because of the die being dual-plane the Throughput is cut in half to 66 MB/s per die.
There is no CuA (Circuitry under Array) in the Dual-Plane variant.
Typical Endurance: 1700 P.E.C.
Rated Endurance: 3.000 to 5.000 (up to) P.E.C.
Typ. Endurance eTLC: ~ 6.000 P.E.C.
