The Kingston DC500R is a solid-state drive in the 2.5" form factor, launched on May 4th, 2019. It is available in capacities ranging from 480 GB to 7.5 TB. This page reports specifications for the 7.5 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Kingston DC500R interfaces using a SATA 6 Gbps connection. The SSD controller is the PS3112-S12-27 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Kingston has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the DC500R, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The DC500R is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 555 MB/s and 525 MB/s write.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 1467 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. The TBW rating for the Kingston DC500R 7.5 TB is unknown.
