Not all SSDs are created equal especially when it comes to SSDs used in datacenter servers. SSDs designed for server workloads require both hardware and firmware features not found on client and consumer SSDs. To start, the NAND and controller selection for a datacenter SSDs are chosen to provide the best performance and endurance for enterprise workloads. Firmware is then optimized to deliver low latency and consistent IO delivery for high duty cycle workloads. This performance tuning technique is known as “quality of service”. Kingston datacenter SSDs also include power loss protection by way of hold up power capacitors built into the SSD. Power loss protection is designed to safeguard data in the event of sudden power loss to the server. Lastly, Kingston datacenter SSDs are tested on server platforms and attached to 3rd party and OEM RAID controllers for compatibility.
