The 12 Gb SAS Enterprise Performance solid-state drives (SSDs) use 3D MLC NAND flash memory technology with a 12 Gb SAS interface to provide a high-performance storage solution.
The 12 Gb SAS drives with 10 full drives writes per day (DWPD) are an excellent choice for applications demanding high write performance, such as High Performance Computing (HPC), High Definition Imaging and Video (HDIV), high data rate analytics and databases, large-scale virtualization, and video on demand content delivery.
These drives offer very high random read & write performance (IOPS) and very high throughput (MBps) making them ideal for high-performance dynamic data caching applications. The drives also offer a 12 Gb SAS interface which means they are a great choice for multi-threaded applications.
