2.0 Product Specifications

2.1 Capacity

Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count shown represents total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the life of the drive.
The total usable capacity of the SSD may be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion of the capacity is
used for NAND flash management and maintenance purposes.

2.2 Performance

Notes: 1. Performance measured using Iometer* with Queue Depth equal to 32. Measurements are performed on 8 GB of Logical
Block Address (LBA) range. Write Cache enabled. 4 KB = 4,096 bytes.
Note: 1. Performance measured using Iometer with Queue Depth equal to 32.
Notes: 1. Based on sequential 4 KB (4,096 bytes) at Queue Depth 1 Iometer workload. Write Cache Enabled.
2. Power On To Ready time assumes proper shutdown.
