HUSMM32 Enterprise Performance 12G SAS SSDs

The New 12 Gb SAS HUSMM32 Enterprise Performance solid-state drives (SSDs) use 3D MLC NAND flash memory technology with a 12 Gb SAS interface to provide a high-performance storage solution in either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive form factor. The 12 Gb SAS drives with 10 full drive writes per day (DWPD) are an excellent choice for applications demanding high write performance, such as High-Performance Computing (HPC), High Definition Imaging and Video (HDIV), high data rate analytics and databases, large-scale virtualization, and video on demand content delivery.
Compared to the previous generation 12 Gb SAS SSDs, these new SSDs offer more than double the random IOPS performance and double the sequential throughput performance. The 12 Gb SAS Enterprise Performance solid-state drive is shown in the following figure.
Did you know?
These drives offer very high random read & write performance (IOPS) and very high throughput (MBps)  making them ideal for high-performance dynamic data caching applications. The drives also offer a 12 Gb SAS interface which means they are the best selection for multi-threaded applications. Rigorous testing of 12Gb SAS Enterprise performance SSDs by Lenovo through the ServerProven program ensures a high degree of storage subsystem compatibility and reliability. Providing additional peace of mind, these drives are covered under the Lenovo warranty.

Features

The 12Gb SAS Enterprise Performance SSDs have the following features:

• Industry-standard 2.5-inch drive with 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive tray attached
• Based on proven HGST Ultrastar SS300 drive technology
• Uses 3D Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory
• Endurance of 10 drive writes per day (DWPD) for 5 years. This equates to a total bytes written (TBW) value of:
  400 GB drive: 7 PB
  800 GB drive: 15 PB
  1.6 TB drive: 29 PB
• SAS 3D MLC solid-state drive with high read performance and consistently low latencies to fulfill
• client needs in the enterprise space
• High reliability and enhanced ruggedness
• Energy saving, with 9 W typical power consumption per drive
• Absence of moving parts to reduce potential failure points in the server S.M.A.R.T. support
• Advanced Encrypting Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
• Supports Sanitize Cryptographic Erase
• Full end-to-end data path protection
  Extended error correction code (ECC)
  Exclusive-OR (XOR) parity to protect against Flash die failure
  Parity-checked internal data paths without an external write cache
  Power loss data management without the need for a supercapacitor

The key difference between Enterprise Performance SSDs such as the 12Gb SAS SSDs described here and Enterprise Entry and Enterprise Mainstream SSDs is their endurance (life expectancy). SSDs have a huge, but finite, number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which determines how long the drives can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy. Enterprise Performance SSDs have better endurance than the Enterprise Mainstream and Enterprise Entry SSDs, but at a higher cost/IOPS ratio.

SSD write endurance is typically measured by the number of program/erase cycles that the drive can incur over its lifetime, which is listed as TBW in the device specification. The TBW value that is assigned to a solid-state device is the total bytes of written data that a drive can be guaranteed to complete. Reaching this limit does not cause the drive to immediately fail; the TBW simply denotes the maximum number of writes that can be guaranteed.
A solid-state device does not fail upon reaching the specified TBW, but at some point after surpassing the TBW value (and based on manufacturing variance margins), the drive reaches the end-of-life point, at which time the drive goes into read-only mode. Because of such behavior, careful planning must be done to use SSDs in the application environments to ensure that the TBW of the drive is not exceeded before the required life expectancy.
For example, the 800 GB drive has an endurance of 15 PB of total bytes written (TBW). This means that for full operation over five years, write workload must be limited to no more than 8,219 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 10.3 full drive writes per day (DWPD). For the device to last three years, the drive write workload must be limited to no more than 13,699 GB of writes per day, which is equivalent to 17.1 full drive writes per day.

Warranty
The 12 Gb SAS Enterprise Performance SSDs carry a one-year, customer-replaceable unit (CRU) limited warranty. When the SSDs are installed in a supported server, these drives assume the system’s base warranty and any warranty upgrades. Solid State Memory cells have an intrinsic, finite number of program/erase cycles that each cell can incur. As a result, each solid state device has a maximum amount of program/erase cycles to which it can be subjected. The warranty for Lenovo solid state drives (SSDs) is limited to drives that have not reached the maximum guaranteed number of program/erase cycles, as documented in the Official Published Specifications for the SSD product. A drive that reaches this limit may fail to operate according to its Specifications.
