Know before you buy
This drive is specifically engineered for server environments and demanding applications that require high write endurance. It is designed to provide reliable, consistent performance in data-intensive settings.
Yes, it features a standard 2.5-inch form factor with a 9mm thickness, making it compatible with most laptops and desktop drive bays that accommodate traditional hard drives.
High Endurance Technology is designed to significantly extend the write lifespan of the NAND flash memory. This makes the drive much more durable than standard consumer SSDs when handling frequent, heavy write operations.
The drive supports a SATA 3Gb/s interface, delivering sequential read speeds up to 270 MB/s and write speeds up to 210 MB/s. While these speeds are modest by modern standards, they provide a reliable performance boost over traditional mechanical hard drives.
No, this specific model does not include built-in hardware encryption. If your data security requirements mandate drive-level encryption, you will need to use software-based solutions.
No, this drive is not rated as shock-resistant. It is intended for stationary server environments rather than mobile or ruggedized applications.
