Ultrastar® SSD1600MM
The Ultrastar SSD1600MM family combines
HGST Enterprise Storage
Highlights
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 SSD1600MM family achieves an extraordinary
0.35% annual failure rate (AFR) or 2.5 million hour mean-
time-between-failure (MTBF). The 1600GB capacity
model endures up to 29.2 Petabytes (PB) of random
writes over the life of the drive—the equivalent of writing
16 Terabytes (TB) per day for ꢀive years.
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® SSD1600MM solid-state drive (SSD)
family. The synergistic relationship between HGST’s
throughput-enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs pro-
vides cost effective, 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
• Mainstream endurance 10DW/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
speciꢀication
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability,
the Ultrastar SSD1600MM 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 SSD1600MM
family is backed by a ꢀive year limited warranty, or the
maximum Petabytes (PB) written (based on capacity).
Applications/Environments
• Ultra-high performance tier-0 enterprise storage
• Enterprise-class servers and high performance computing
• Space and/or power constrained environments
• Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
• Video pre- and post-production
Maximum Performance,
Reliability and Endurance
The Ultrastar SSD1600MM 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
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 SSD1600MM 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.
• Financial and e-commerce
• Database analytics
