HGST Enterprise Storage Experience
HGST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
design, reliability, firmware, customer qualification and system integration to the
Ultrastar® SSD1600MR solid-state drive (SSD) family. The synergistic relationship
between HGST’s throughput-enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs provides cost eective,
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.
Maximum Performance, Reliability and Endurance
The Ultrastar SSD1600MR delivers high sequential throughput, up to 1100MB/s read and
700MB/s write (12Gb/s SAS). It also delivers up to 130,000 read and 30,000 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
eciency. The Ultrastar SSD1600MR family oers significant value in terms of IOPS per
Watt, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption,
ecient cooling and reduced space requirements.
The Ultrastar SSD1600MR family combines enterprise-grade MLC NAND Flash memory,
advanced endurance management firmware and power loss data management techniques
to extend reliability, endurance and sustained performance over the life of the SSD. The
Ultrastar SSD1600MR family achieves an extraordinary 0.35% annual failure rate (AFR) or
2.5 million hour mean-time-between-failure (MTBF). The 1920GB capacity model endures up
to 10.5 Petabytes (PB) of random writes over the life of the drive—the equivalent of writing
5.8 Terabytes (TB) per day for five years.
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability, the Ultrastar SSD1600MR 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 SSD1600MR family is backed by a
five year limited warranty, or the maximum Petabytes (PB) written (based on capacity).
