The ST960FM0003 is a solid-state drive (SSD) manufactured by Seagate. It has a storage capacity of 960 gigabytes (GB) and uses the Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface with a transfer speed of 12 gigabytes per second (Gbps). In this article, we will dive into the technical specifications of the ST960FM0003 SSD and explain why it is a great option for users who need high-capacity and high-performance storage.
SAS InterfaceThe ST960FM0003 SSD uses the SAS interface, which is a high-speed interface designed for use in enterprise-level storage systems. The SAS interface is a point-to-point protocol, meaning that each device is connected directly to the motherboard, which provides a dedicated pathway for data transfer.
The SAS interface used by the ST960FM0003 SSD has a transfer speed of 12Gbps, which is the maximum speed supported by the SAS-III standard. This speed is ideal for enterprise-level applications that require high-performance storage.
Light Endurance EMLCThe ST960FM0003 SSD uses light endurance enterprise multi-level cell (EMLC) flash memory, which is a type of NAND flash memory that provides higher durability and longer lifespan than traditional multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory.
EMLC flash memory provides higher write endurance than MLC flash memory, which makes it ideal for use in enterprise-level storage systems that require high-performance and high-reliability storage. The ST960FM0003 SSD has a write endurance rating of 1.5 drive writes per day (DWPD), which means that it can withstand being written to 1.5 times per day for five years before it begins to degrade.
2.5-Inch Small Form Factor (SFF)The ST960FM0003 SSD has a 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), which is a common size for laptop and desktop hard drives. The smaller size of the SFF allows for more drives to be installed in a system, which can increase storage capacity and performance. The SFF is also more power-efficient than larger form factors, which can help reduce energy costs.
Fits All DesignThe ST960FM0003 SSD has a "fits all" design, which means that it is compatible with a wide range of storage systems. This makes it a great option for users who need to upgrade their storage without having to replace their entire storage system.
High Storage CapacityThe ST960FM0003 SSD has a storage capacity of 960 gigabytes (GB), which is a large amount of storage space. This makes it a great option for users who need to store large amounts of data, such as video files, photos, or music libraries.
High Performance and ReliabilityThe ST960FM0003 SSD offers high performance and reliability, which are crucial factors for users who need fast and dependable storage. The SAS interface provides fast data transfer rates, and the EMLC flash memory provides higher durability and longer lifespan than traditional MLC flash memory.
The ST960FM0003 SSD is also designed to be durable and reliable. It has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 2 million hours, which means that it is expected to operate without failure for a long period of time.
Compatibility with Seagate SeaTools SoftwareThe ST960FM0003 SSD is compatible with Seagate SeaTools software, which is a software suite that allows users to manage and optimize their Seagate SSDs. The software provides several features, including performance benchmarking, firmware updates, and diagnostics.
