Kingston is announcing the forthcoming SSDNow E50, the company’s latest enterprise-class SSD engineered with affordable NAND for applications that do not have heavy endurance requirements. The SSDNow E50 will be positioned as the less-expensive sibling to the previously announced SSDNow E100, which features 30K NAND that is more suited for write-intensive server environments than the E50. According to Kingston, the SSDNow E50 is oriented towards caching, transactional processing, and improving the performance of virtualized applications – all while reducing the overall cost of ownership.

Enabling the drive to sustain its performance and reliability over its warranted operational life, the SSDNow E50 features Kingston’s DuraWrite data integrity protection which reduces the number of memory writes via an intelligent compression engine. RAISE technology offers proprietary improvements in the number of uncorrectable errors in the drive, and Kingston has underscored that the drive leverages the SSDNow family’s intelligent power failure protection functionality while saving on cost due to not emphasizing endurance.
