- MLC NAND flash for ultra-high performance and endurance
- Best IOPS/Watt for reduced TCO
- 12Gb/s SAS interface for maximum throughput
- Advanced power loss data management technology
- Self-encrypting models conform to TCG's Enterprise specification
The Ultrastar SSD1600MM also delivers up to 130,000 read and 100,000 write IOPS, reaching speeds many times faster than HDDs and double the speed of current 6Gb/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 low annual failure rate (AFR) or two million hour mean-time-between-failure (MTBF). For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability, the Ultrastar SSD1600MM family incorporates the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF) standard, extended error correction code (ECC), Exclusive-OR (XOR) parity to protect against flash die failure, parity-checked internal data paths without an external write cache, and an exclusive power loss data management feature that does not require supercapacitors.
