Workload Type: Mixed Use (MU), suitable for applications requiring a balanced mix of read and write operations .
Interface & Speed: SAS 12Gb/s, offering full-duplex data transfer that is twice the speed of 6Gb SATA SSDs .
Performance (IOPS):
Random Read: 96,000 IOPS (4KiB, Q=16); up to 155,000 IOPS (4KiB) at Q=32 .
Random Write: 52,000 IOPS (4KiB, Q=16); up to 52,000 IOPS (4KiB) at Q=4 .
Endurance: 3 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) with a total lifetime write capacity of 10,500 TBW, providing higher durability than read-intensive drives .
Form Factor & Power: SFF (Small Form Factor) at 15mm height; power consumption is approximately 7.11 Watts .
Key Features & Value
Value SAS Advantage: It utilizes the robust 12Gb SAS protocol (with better error recovery than SATA) but at a price point closer to 6Gb SATA SSDs, making it a cost-effective upgrade for enterprise servers .
Target Workloads: Ideal for big data analytics, cloud computing, high-performance computing, database applications, and virtualization where both read and write performance matter .
Multi-Vendor SKU: This designation means the drive is supplied through a streamlined procurement process with potentially shorter lead times and extended SKU lifecycles .
