HGST 480GB Ultrastar SA210 SATA 6Gb s 2.5" 7mm Enterprise Solid State Drive

Built on Western Digital 64-layer 3D NAND, the 480GB Ultrastar SA210 SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" 7mm Enterprise Solid State Drive is HGST’s first solid state drive built specifically for enterprise boot and edge applications. The Ultrastar SA210 offers outstanding value and provides the best alternative to enterprise boot hard drives. End-to-end data protection and LDPC error correction mechanisms provide greater reliability and help support a five-year warranty.

Edge computing is pushing applications, like content delivery, away from centralized data centers and closer to those who are consuming the content. In such environments, data access speed is essential. The Ultrastar DC SA210 delivers up to 510MB/s sequential read throughput and 64K IOPS random read performance to unleash the full potential of your server grade system and its high-end CPU capabilities. Such applications can also benefit from higher capacity offerings.

The Ultrastar DC SA210 is designed to be cost-optimized and offer sufficient endurance for read-intensive environments. It is architected to minimize the probability of data loss due to unexpected power loss yet still be a cost-effective alternative to traditional enterprise solid state that rely on costly hold-up capacitors. Also, to address encryption requirements, the Ultrastar SA210 supports self-encryption drive (SED) capability compliant with TCG OPAL 2.01 to protect data from unauthorized access. It includes Instant Secure Erase functionality to speed and simplify drive redeployment and retirement.
