HGST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage
expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) design reliability,
ꢀirmware, customer qualiꢀication and system integration
to the Ultrastar® SSD800MM solid-state drive (SSD) family.
The synergistic relationship between HGST’s throughput-
enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs provides 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.
The Ultrastar SSD800MM delivers high sequential
throughput, up to 1200MB/s read and 700MB/s write
(12Gb/s SAS). The Ultrastar SSD800MM also delivers up to
145,000 read and 70,000 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 SSD800MM 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.
endurance
• Endurance: 10 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
The Ultrastar SSD800MM family combines enterprise-grade
MLC NAND ꢀlash 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 SSD800MM 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 14.6 Petabytes (PB) of random writes
over the life of the drive—the equivalent of writing 8 Terabytes
(TB) per day for ꢀive years.
Applications/Environments
• Ultra-high performance tier-0 enterprise storage
HGST Quality and Service
• Enterprise-class servers and high performance
computing
• Space and/or power constrained environments
• Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
• Video pre/post-production
HGST’s Ultrastar SSD800MM 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 SSD800MM 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
SSD800MM family is backed by a ꢀive year limited warranty, or
the maximum Petabytes (PB) written (based on capacity).
