Kingston — Design-In SSDs

The Kingston® Design-In SSD family is a line of SATA and NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) which are intended to be built into embedded computing systems.

The family includes SSDs in various form factors, and implementing a range of data interfaces:

• SATA 2.5 inch, mSATA, M.2 2242, and M.2 2280
• PCIe Gen 4 NVMe in M.2 2280 and M.2 2230 form factors

The Kingston Design-In SSDs incorporate advanced controllers that perform wear-leveling, garbage collection and other NAND Flash management features. Their standard form factors mean that they are a drop-in replacement for traditional hard drives. They offer up to 20x higher performance than a hard drive, as well as high reliability.

These SSDs are based on the latest 3D NAND Flash memory chips, providing high memory density in small form factors.

A valuable benefit of using a complete SSD storage solution from Kingston is superior control of an embedded device’s bill-of-materials and firmware: after customer qualification, the customer need make no changes to components in the storage system. A Kingston product change notification system ensures that all generational changes and firmware updates are handled through a controlled and timed process.
