The 5300 Entry SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) are new SSDs for Think System servers. The drives use Micron 96-layer 3D NAND flash memory technology with a SATA 6Gbps interface and provide an affordable solution for read-intensive applications such as boot, web servers, lower data rate operational databases and analytics. Industry standard 2. 5-inch or 3. 5-inch form factors New generation 96-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory Suitable for read-intensive workloads with an endurance of between 0. 6 and 1. 5 drive writes per day (DWPD) for 5 years 6 Gbps SATA host interface High reliability and enhanced ruggedness MTTF of 3 million device hours - 50% more than most drives Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server S.
