Western Digital introduced the new 2.5-inch dual-port Ultrastar DC SS530 SAS SSD that is developed in partnership with Intel and is based on a trusted third-generation platform offering a consistent performance and reliability to meet the rigorous demands of today’s toughest data center workloads.
Designed with a 12Gb/s SAS interface, and available in capacities from 400GB to 15.36TB, the Ultrastar DC SS530 delivers up to 440,000 random read and 320,000 random write IOPS — providing rapid access to “hot” enterprise data for higher productivity and operational efficiency as well as substantially lowering the data center TCO for Fast Data applications.
As compared to previous generation, the new drive doubles the maximum capacity to 15.36TB within the same 2.5-inch 15-mm form factor, drive storage density also doubles, giving IT managers the potential to reduce the number of drives deployed, consolidate servers and open up valuable rack space for improved CapEx and OpEx costs.
Ulrich Hansen, vice president of Enterprise Product Management at Western Digital said “With the Ultrastar DC SS530, we are releasing another high-quality product designed to meet the needs of our customers. Built on 64L 3D TLC NAND, the Ultrastar SS530 delivers important advances in performance and power efficiency. Combining these improvements with the reliability that our Ultrastar drives have become known to represent significantly enhances the value we deliver to the market.”
