Introduction to the ST960FM0003 Solid State Drive
The ST960FM0003 is a solid-state drive (SSD) manufactured by Seagate, one of the leading companies in the storage industry. The ST960FM0003 is a high-performance and high-reliability SSD designed for enterprise-level storage systems that require fast and reliable storage. In this article, we will dive into the technical specifications of the ST960FM0003 SSD and explain why it is a great option for users who need high-capacity and high-performance storage.
SAS Interface for High-Speed Data Transfer
The ST960FM0003 SSD uses the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which is a high-speed interface designed for enterprise-level storage systems. The SAS interface provides a dedicated pathway for data transfer, allowing for fast and reliable data transfer between the SSD and other devices.
The ST960FM0003 SSD has a transfer speed of 12 gigabytes per second (Gbps), which is the maximum speed supported by the SAS-III standard. The SAS interface used by the ST960FM0003 SSD is ideal for enterprise-level applications that require high-performance storage, such as data centers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing.
Light Endurance EMLC for High Reliability and Durability
The ST960FM0003 SSD uses light endurance enterprise multi-level cell (EMLC) flash memory, which is a type of NAND flash memory that provides higher durability and longer lifespan than traditional multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory. EMLC flash memory provides higher write endurance than MLC flash memory, which makes it ideal for use in enterprise-level storage systems that require high-performance and high-reliability storage.
The ST960FM0003 SSD has a write endurance rating of 1.5 drive writes per day (DWPD), which means that it can withstand being written to 1.5 times per day for five years before it begins to degrade. This high write endurance makes the ST960FM0003 SSD a reliable option for enterprise-level storage systems that require consistent and dependable storage.
2.5-Inch Small Form Factor (SFF) for Space Efficiency
The ST960FM0003 SSD has a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), which is a common size for laptop and desktop hard drives. The smaller size of the SFF allows for more drives to be installed in a system, which can increase storage capacity and performance. The SFF is also more power-efficient than larger form factors, which can help reduce energy costs.
The ST960FM0003 SSD has a 7mm thickness, which makes it compatible with a wide range of storage systems. This “fits all” design makes the ST960FM0003 SSD a great option for users who need to upgrade their storage without having to replace their entire storage system.
High Storage Capacity for Large Data Storage Needs
The ST960FM0003 SSD has a storage capacity of 960 gigabytes (GB), which is a large amount of storage space. This makes it a great option for users who need to store large amounts of data, such as video files, photos, or music libraries. The high storage capacity of the ST960FM0003 SSD makes it a great option for enterprise-level storage systems that require large amounts of storage for data-intensive applications.
High Performance and Reliability for Enterprise-Level Applications
The ST960FM0003 SSD offers high performance and reliability, which are crucial factors for users who need fast and dependable storage. The SAS interface provides fast data transfer rates, and the EMLC flash memory provides higher durability and longer lifespan than traditional MLC flash memory.
