- MLC NAND Flash for ultra-high performance and endurance
- Mainstream endurance 10 DW/D for 5 years
- Best IOPS/Watt for reduced TCO
- 12 Gb/s SAS interface for maximum throughput
- Advanced power loss data management technology
- Self-encrypting models conform to TCG's Enterprise specification
The Ultrastar SSD1600MM delivers high sequential throughput, up to 1100 MB/s read and 765 MB/s write (12 Gb/s SAS). It also delivers up to 130,000 read and 100,000 write IOPS, reaching speeds >100 times faster than HDDs and double the speed of current 6 Gb/s SSDs, allowing rapid access to "hot" enterprise data for improved productivity and operational efficiency. The Ultrastar SSD1600MM family offers significant value in terms of IOPS per watt, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption, efficient cooling and reduced space requirements.
The Ultrastar SSD1600MM family combines enterprise-grade MLC NAND Flash memory, advanced endurance management firmware and power loss data management techniques to extend reliability, endurance and sustained performance over the life of the SSD. The Ultrastar SSD1600MM family achieves an extraordinary 0.35% annual failure rate (AFR) or 2.5 million hour meantime-between-failure (MTBF). The 1600GB capacity model endures up to 29.2 Petabytes (PB) of random writes over the life of the drive - the equivalent of writing 16 Terabytes (TB) per day for five years.
