Kingston DC400 480GB SSD Review

Kingston quote a random write figure for the 480GB DC400 of 85,000 IOPS when the drive is in a steady state. Using the ezFIO benchmarking tool we got slight better 86,000 IOPs plus, peaking at 86,896 IOPS.

The drive shows an excellent consistency of performance at high queue depths.

Again the drive shows consistency at a high queue depth even when using large block sizes.

It appears that Kingston has optimised the DC400 for  read operations at low to moderate queue depths which makes sense for a drive aimed at the entry level of data centre use.
