M500DC 2.5-Inch SATA NAND Flash SSD

Satisfy 24/7 Data Center Demands

Enterprise applications are experiencing tremendous demands for greater throughput due to rapid growth in mobile applications, cloud services, and connected devices. Satisfy these 24/7 demands with our M500DC Enterprise SATA SSD, which is optimized for data center appliances and enterprise storage applications that require 1 to 3 drive fills per day, as well as excellent sustained random performance. We’ve designed the M500DC with the enhanced reliability and endurance of a high-end enterprise drive—but at a broadly accessible price point. This high-value SSD is available in industry-standard 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors and 120GB to 800GB capacities for your growing storage needs.

The M500DC helps protect data, extend drive life, and optimize performance thanks to its extended performance and enhanced reliability technology (XPERT) features—including data path protection, power-loss protection, and adaptive read management. With the M500DC, you also get world-class support and proven quality and reliability from a vertically integrated NAND Flash manufacturer who produces some of the world’s most advanced, application-focused memory and storage solutions.
