ENTERPRISE SOLID-STATE DRIVES
Ultrastar® SSD800MH
The Ultrastar SSD800MH family combines enterprise-grade
MLC NAND ꢀlash memory, advanced endurance manage-
ment ꢀirmware and power loss data management tech-
niques to extend reliability, endurance, and sustained per-
formance over the life of the SSD. The Ultrastar SSD800MH
family achieves an extraordinary 0.44% annual failure rate
(AFR) or two 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 equiva-
lent of writing 20 Terabytes (TB) per day for ꢀive years.
HGST Enterprise Storage
Highlights
Experience
• MLC NAND Flash for ultra-high performance and
HGST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage
expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) design, reliability,
ꢀirmware, customer qualiꢀication and system integration to
the Ultrastar® SSD800MH solid-state drive (SSD) family. The
synergistic relationship between HGST’s throughput-en-
hancing SSDs and traditional HDDs provides cost effective,
end-to-end enterprise-class storage solutions, delivering
reliability, compatibility, capacity, cost and system perfor-
mance. 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
• Endurance: 25 drive writes per day (DW/D) for ꢀive 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
speciꢀication
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability,
the Ultrastar SSD800MH family incorporates the T10 Data
Integrity Field (DIF) standard, extended error correction
code (ECC), Exclusive-OR (XOR) parity to protect against
ꢀlash 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 family is backed by a ꢀive year
limited warranty, or the maximum Petabytes (PB) written
(based on capacity).
Applications/Environments
Maximum Performance,
Reliability and Endurance
• Ultra-high performance tier-0 enterprise storage
• Enterprise-class servers and high performance
computing
• Space and/or power constrained environments
• Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
• Financial and e-commerce
The Ultrastar SSD800MH delivers high sequential
throughput, up to 1200MB/s read and 750MB/s write (12Gb/s
SAS). The Ultrastar SSD800MH also delivers up to 145,000
read and 100,000 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 eꢁiciency. The
Ultrastar SSD800MH family offers signiꢀicant value in terms
of IOPS per Watt, while reducing total cost of ownership
(TCO) through low power consumption, eꢁicient cooling and
reduced space requirements.
HGST Quality and Service
HGST’s Ultrastar SSD800MH family extends the company’s
long-standing tradition of performance and reliability leader-
ship. A balanced combination of new and proven technolo-
gies enables high reliability and availability to customer data.
• Database analytics
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.
