environments. 

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.

3  Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Workload (JESD219A)
4  Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD).
