A Natural SSD For Edge Computing & Read-Intensive Environments

Edge computing is pushing applications, like content delivery, away from centralized data centers and closer to those who are consuming the content. In such environments, data access speed is essential. The Ultrastar DC SA210 delivers up to 510MiB/s sequential read throughput and 64K IOPS random read performance to unleash the full potential of your server grade system and its high-end CPU capabilities. Such applications can also benefit from higher capacity offerings. The Ultrastar DC SA210 is designed to be cost-optimized and offer sufficient endurance for read-intensive environments. It is architected to minimize the probability of data loss due to unexpected power loss yet still be a cost-effective alternative to traditional enterprise SSDs that rely on costly hold-up capacitors. To address encryption requirements, the Ultrastar DC SA210 supports self-encryption drive (SED) capability with TCG OPAL 2.01 SSC security protocol support to help protect data from unauthorized access. The DC SA210 also includes Instant Secure Erase functionality to speed and simplify drive redeployment and retirement.
