Know before you buy
This drive is specifically engineered for server and data center environments. Its design prioritizes high endurance and reliability for heavy, continuous write workloads.
HET combines 25nm eMLC flash with specialized firmware to significantly increase the number of write cycles the drive can handle. This makes it much more durable than standard consumer-grade SSDs when performing constant data updates.
Yes. The drive features a power-safe write cache and robust data retention mechanisms designed to protect your information and prevent corruption during unexpected power loss.
The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor, making it physically compatible with most drive bays that accept 2.5-inch SATA drives. However, please note that it utilizes a SATA II interface, which may be slower than modern SATA III or NVMe standards.
Yes, it includes built-in AES 128-bit hardware encryption. This provides an extra layer of security for your data at the drive level without impacting system performance.
