The ThinkSystem 800GB SS530 Performance SAS 12Gb/s 3.5" Hot Swap Solid State Drive uses second generation 3D MLC NAND flash memory technology with an SAS 12Gb/s interface to provide a high-performance storage solution. It offers high endurance supporting up to 10 full drive writes per day (10 DWPD) over 5 years meaning it is ideal for write-intensive applications such as High Performance Computing (HPC), High Definition Imaging and Video (HDIV), high data rate analytics and databases, large-scale virtualization and video on demand content delivery. The drive's very high random read and write performance (IOPS) and very high throughput (MBps) alos makes it ideal for high-performance dynamic data caching applications.
