Tired of slow storage bottlenecks in your server? You need fast, reliable SSDs that fit into tight bays. The ThinkSystem 2.5 SATA SSD delivers exactly that.
ThinkSystem 2.5 Multi Vendor 480GB Mixed Use SATA SSD 6Gb HS v2
This 480GB drive is built for mixed-use environments where read and write performance must stay balanced. It uses a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, so you get full bandwidth without needing a new controller. The 2.5-inch hot-swap form factor lets you replace the drive without powering down the chassis, perfect for data-center uptime.
Sequential reads reach up to 550 MB/s and writes up to 520 MB/s, delivering smooth application loading and rapid backup windows. Random performance hits 95,000 IOPS for 4 KB reads and 35,000 IOPS for 4 KB writes, keeping virtual machines and databases responsive under load. Endurance is rated at about 1 drive write per day (DWPD) and roughly 875 TBW, which is ample for most enterprise cycles.
Power consumption stays low at 3.5 W during active use, helping reduce overall rack power draw. With an MTBF of 2 million hours and operating temperatures from 0 °C to 70 °C, the SSD is engineered for the harshest data-center conditions. Its lightweight design - about 0.12 kg - eases handling during maintenance.
Benefits
Deploying this ThinkSystem SSD means faster boot times, quicker file transfers, and smoother virtualization workloads. The hot-swap capability eliminates downtime during upgrades, while the balanced read/write speeds support both transactional databases and bulk data analytics. Reliability metrics give you confidence that the drive will keep your critical services online.
