480 GB SATA enterprise SSD

This 2.5 inch solid-state drive delivers 480 GB of capacity over a SATA III interface. It is built for server workloads that demand consistent read performance and enterprise-grade endurance.

Read-intensive workloads vs write-heavy needs

The drive reaches 75,500 random read IOPS at Q32 and 66,000 IOPS at Q16, while random writes peak at 17,000 IOPS. Buyers whose applications require sustained high write throughput or larger capacities should consider alternative drives.

SATA III 6 Gbit/s interface

The SATA III connection determines compatibility with 2.5 inch drive bays and controllers that support the 600 MB/s standard. Verify that your server backplane and RAID controller accept this interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my server have a 2.5" SATA drive bay and a SATA/600 controller to install this 868818-B21?

The drive fits a standard 2.5" internal bay with 7.00mm height and connects through any SATA III (SATA/600) port on the server backplane or RAID controller.

Will this 480GB SATA III SSD work in the same array as older SATA mechanical drives?

It shares the same SATA III interface, so the controller sees it as another SATA device; performance will differ, but the drive is electrically compatible with legacy SATA HDDs.

How can I confirm the 868818-B21 is delivering its rated 66,000 IOPS random read and 17,000 IOPS random write after installation?

Run a 4KB random I/O test at queue depth 16 for reads and queue depth 32 for writes using a tool such as fio or CrystalDiskMark and compare the results to the specified figures.
