• MLC NAND Flash for ultra-high performance and
The Ultrastar SSD800MH.B delivers high sequential
throughput, up to 1100MB/s read and 765MB/s write
(12Gb/s SAS). It also delivers up to 130,000 read and
110,000 write IOPS, reaching speeds >100 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 SSD800MH.B family oꢀers signiꢁicant value
in terms of IOPS per Watt, while reducing total cost
of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption,
efficient cooling and reduced space requirements.
HGST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage
expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) design, reliability,
ꢁirmware, customer qualiꢁication and system integration
to the Ultrastar® SSD800MH.B solid-state drive (SSD)
family. The synergistic relationship between HGST’s
throughput-enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs
provides cost eꢀective, end-to-end enterprise-class
storage solutions, delivering reliability, compatibility,
capacity, cost and system performance. This
combination makes HGST a leading SSD/HDD provider
with the experience and technology needed to meet
escalating reliability, endurance and performance in the
most demanding enterprise environments.
endurance
• High endurance 25DW/D for 5 years
• 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

Applications/Environments
enterprise-grade MLC NAND Flash memory, advanced
endurance management ꢁirmware and power loss data
management techniques to extend reliability, endurance
and sustained performance over the life of the SSD. The
Ultrastar SSD800MH.B family achieves an extraordinary
0.35% annual failure rate (AFR) or 2.5 million hour mean-
time-between-failure (MTBF). The 800GB capacity model
endures up to 36.5 Petabytes (PB) of random writes
over the life of the drive—the equivalent of writing 20
Terabytes (TB) per day for ꢁive years.

HGST Quality and Service
HGST’s Ultrastar SSD800MH.B family extends the
company’s long-standing tradition of performance and
reliability leadership. A balanced combination of new
and proven technologies enables high reliability and
availability to customer data.
HGST drives are backed by an array of technical
support and services, which may include customer and
integration assistance. HGST is dedicated to providing
a complete portfolio of SSD/HDD solutions to satisfy
today’s monumental computing needs.
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability,
the Ultrastar SSD800MH.B 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. The Ultrastar SSD800MH.B
family is backed by a ꢁive year limited warranty, or the
maximum Petabytes (PB) written (based on capacity).
