Key Features
-
High-Endurance MLC NAND: The key feature of this drive is its Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash, which provides significantly higher write endurance and a longer lifespan compared to consumer-grade TLC or QLC SSDs.
-
Enterprise Reliability: Designed for 24/7 data center operation with features like power-fail protection to ensure data integrity during unexpected power events.
-
M.2 2280 Form Factor: The compact M.2 form factor is ideal for space-constrained applications like blade servers, hyper-converged nodes, or dedicated boot device controllers (like Dell's BOSS cards).
-
SATA 6Gb/s Interface: Utilizes the widely compatible SATA III interface for solid, reliable performance.
