SSDNow KC310 Solid State Drive

Think big, do more with SSD technology.

With 960GB of storage capacity, SSDNow KC310 is Kingston’s largest businessclass
solid-state drive. A true HDD replacement, it’s easy to transition to; now
there are no tradeoffs needed between performance and capacity.

SSDNow KC310 features an 8-channel Phison S10 controller plus a DDR3
DRAM cache and quad-core processor for speeds of 550MB/s read and
520MB/s write. Its high IOPS reduce application latency and improve bootup
and responsiveness to increase productivity and extend the life of existing
HDD-based systems.

KC310 delivers end-to-end data protection with Advanced Smart ECC and
Flash ECC protection for advanced data reliability. Intelligent data error
correction fixes up to 120bits for every 2KB of data and, in the event of an
error, data is rebuilt.

For added peace of mind, KC310 has firmware-based power loss protection.
To maintain data integrity in case of unexpected power loss, the drive ensures
data in cache is constantly flushed and hardened to NAND.

SSDNow KC310 is backed by a three-year warranty, free technical support
and legendary Kingston® reliability.

1 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.
2 Based on “out-of-box performance” using a SATA Rev. 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware,
software, and usage. IOMETER Random 4k Random Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.
