As data centers and enterprises struggle to manage the growing abundance and availability of data, the next generation of SAS SSDs with enhanced performance and endurance arrives to help address data access challenges. The Ultrastar SS300 solid-state drive (SSD) is offered in a 2.5-inch small form factor that delivers ultra-high performance to power through the most challenging workloads.

Designed with a 12Gb/s SAS interface for seamless integration into enterprise environments, the Ultrastar SS300 delivers high sequential throughput, up to 2100MB/s read at 14W power. The SS300 delivers up to 400,000 read and 200,000 write IOPS—double the speed of current 12Gb/s SSDs—providing rapid access to "hot" enterprise data for higher productivity and operational efficiency. The Ultrastar SS300 family offers significant value in terms of IOPS per Watt, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption, e icient cooling and reduced space requirements.

Ultrastar SS300 combines enterprise-grade 3D MLC 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 SS300 family achieves an extraordinary 0.35% annual failure rate (AFR) or 2.5 million hours mean-time-between-failure (MTBF).
