Note
* One gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000MB (one billion bytes) and one terabyte (TB) is equal to 1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to solid-state capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity due to operating environment.
** Endurance rating based on DW/D using 8KiB random write workload over 5 years.
*** Based on internal testing. Performance will vary by capacity point, or with the changes in useable capacity. Consult product manual for further details. All performance measurements are in full sustained mode and are peak values. subject to change.
‡ Average read latency at 4KiB, QD=1.
‡‡ MTBF and AFR specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions for this drive model. MTBF and AFR ratings do not predict an individual drive’s reliability and do not constitute a warranty.
‡‡‡ The warranty for the product will expire on the earlier of (i) the date when the flash media has reached one-percent (1%) of its remaining life or (ii) the expiration of the time period associated with the product.
§ Composite temperature reading.
§§ Values are based on ambient temperature. Avoid non-operational exposure to temperatures in excess of 40°C for periods exceeding three months."
