THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Storage capacity

Decimal storage capacity: 1 TB = 1,000 GB. Formatting and system use reduce available space.

Kingston A4000.24 TB

Manufacturer specification · Manufacturer-listed capacity; formatting and reserved functions reduce usable storage.

Kingston DC600M1.92 TB

Manufacturer specification · Listed 1.92 TB capacity; Kingston notes some of it is used for formatting and other functions and is not available for data storage.

Explore the full specifications

Check the connection before the capacity. M.2 NVMe modules and 2.5-inch SATA drives are not interchangeable. Check the host’s protocol, slot or bay, power connection and clearance. Rated speeds use different test systems; we do not turn them into a speed score or overall winner.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Kingston A400

What it brings

  • Rated up to 500 MB/s sequential read and 350 MB/s sequential write over SATA 6 Gb/s, in a standard 7 mm-high 2.5-inch drive with a published average power draw of 0.279 W.

What to check

  • Modest 80 TB endurance and a three-year warranty. Kingston does not state the NAND type, controller or whether it has a DRAM cache, and it needs SATA data and power connections.

Kingston DC600M

What it brings

  • Rated for 3,504 TB written at 1.92 TB (1 drive write per day for 5 years under the JEDEC enterprise workload), with a 5-year conditional warranty.
  • Kingston lists hardware-based power loss protection, hot-plug support, a DRAM cache and steady-state random and 99.999th-percentile latency figures rather than only peak numbers.
  • The 1.92 TB model's steady-state 4K random write rating (78,000 IOPS) is the highest of the DC600M capacities.

What to check

  • This SEDC600M part has no encryption; TCG Opal 2.0 and AES 256-bit encryption require the separate DC600ME parts.
  • As a SATA 6 Gb/s drive, rated sequential speeds top out at 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write, and Kingston does not name the controller.
  • Kingston publishes one QoS latency figure covering the 960 GB to 3.84 TB DC600M capacities rather than a 1.92 TB-specific figure, and gives no queue depth for the steady-state IOPS ratings.
