What endurance rating does this SSD provide?

Rated for 1.3 DWPD over 5 years, equating to 1324 TB total bytes written for the 480GB capacity. This mixed-use rating supports virtualization, databases, and server boot drives with balanced read/write workloads.

What are the peak performance specifications?

Sequential reads up to 540 MB/s, writes up to 500 MB/s saturating SATA 6Gb/s. Random 4K performance: 95,000 IOPS reads and 36,000 IOPS writes at QD32, ideal for enterprise transaction processing.

Does this drive support hardware encryption?

Yes, features AES 256-bit SED with TCG Enterprise, TCG Opal, and ATA Security modes. Enables secure key management, pre-boot authentication, and compliance for data at rest in servers.

What form factor and compatibility does it have?

Standard 2.5-inch 7mm height fits all enterprise server bays as HDD/SSD drop-in replacement. SATA 6Gb/s interface compatible with legacy and modern SAS/SATA backplanes without adapters.

What reliability features are included?

3 million hours MTBF, power-loss protection for data in flight, end-to-end data path protection, and LDPC ECC. Operates 0-70°C with UBER <1 sector per 10^17 bits read.

Is this suitable for virtualization environments?

Yes, optimized for mixed-use with high random IOPS and QoS consistency across multiple VMs. Supports VMware, Hyper-V, KVM with sustained performance under concurrent VM workloads.
