Kingston E50 240GB SATA SSD

The Kingston E50 SE50S37/240G is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with a 240GB capacity and a SATA 6Gbps interface. It uses MLC NAND flash and delivers sequential reads up to 550 MBps and writes up to 530 MBps. Random read performance reaches 48,000 IOPS while random writes hit 72,000 IOPS. DuraWrite and RAISE technologies protect data integrity and extend drive life.

Server and workload fit

This drive suits servers and storage arrays that need high IOPS over a standard SATA connection to remove I/O bottlenecks. Its 60,000 IOPS rating far exceeds the typical 300 IOPS of a 15K SAS HDD. Intelligent power-failure protection guards data during unexpected outages. Systems limited to SATA ports or requiring 2.5-inch form factors will integrate it directly.

Deciding specification

The SATA interface and 2.5-inch form factor determine compatibility; the drive will only work in bays and controllers that support SATA. MLC NAND and the stated 550 MBps read and 530 MBps write ceilings define the performance envelope. Buyers needing a different physical connector or higher throughput should select a drive with another interface.

Questions about this item

What does 550 MBps sequential read actually deliver in a server?

The E50 sustains up to 550 MBps read and 530 MBps write over SATA, removing I/O bottlenecks that limit 15K SAS HDDs to roughly 300 IOPS.

How does the SATA 6Gbps interface cap real-world throughput?

The 6Gbps SATA link limits maximum bandwidth to just over 500 MBps, so the drive’s 550/530 MBps ratings represent the practical ceiling.

What clearance does the 2.5 inch form factor need to mount?

The drive uses a standard 2.5 inch 7 mm height and weighs 0.25 kg, fitting any 2.5 inch bay or caddy with SATA data and power connectors.
