Proven enterprise storage experience
Hitachi GST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
and Fibre Channel (FC) design reliability, rmware, customer qualication and system integration in the
new Ultrastar™ SSD400S solid-state drive (SSD) family. The synergistic relationship between Hitachi’s
new throughput-enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs provides cost effective, end-to-end enterprise-
class storage solutions, delivering reliability, compatibility, capacity, cost and system performance.
Hitachi GST storage products are the clear choice for the most demanding enterprise environments.

Maximum performance, reliability and endurance
The new Ultrastar SSD400S family delivers the highest sequential throughput, up to 535MB/s read /
500MB/s write, and up to 46K read / 13K write random IOPS. Reaching speeds 100 times faster
than HDDs, SSDs enable rapid access to “hot” enterprise data for improved productivity
and operational efciency. Since fewer SSDs are required to achieve the same HDD IOPS
performance, the new Ultrastar SSD400S family offers signicant value in terms of IOPS per
Watt, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption, efcient
cooling and reduced space requirements.
The Ultrastar SSD400S family combines enterprise-grade SLC NAND ash memory, advanced
endurance management rmware and exclusive Power-loss Data Management technology to
extend reliability, endurance, and sustained performance over the life of the SSD. The Ultrastar
SSD family achieves an extraordinary 0.44% annual failure rate (AFR) and endures up to 35PB of
random writes over the life of the drive—the equivalent of writing 19.2 TB per day for ve years!
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability, the Ultrastar SSD400S family incorporates
the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF) standard, extended error correction code (ECC), Exclusive-OR
(XOR) parity to protect against ash die failure and parity-checked internal data paths without
an external write cache. The Ultrastar SSD400S family is backed by a ve-year limited warranty.
Eco-friendly storage
The Ultrastar SSD400S family demonstrates Hitachi ecological leadership with its halogen-
free design and power-efcient operation. Both these features helped qualify the drive for the
Hitachi EcoTrac classication, which identies products that minimize environmental impact in
the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.

One gigabyte (GB) is equal to one billion bytes when referring to hard drive and SSD capacity. One terabyte (TB) equals 1,000GB, and one petabyte
(PB) equals 1,000TB. Accessible capacity will vary depending on the operating environment and formatting.

MTBF target is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under nominal operating
conditions. MTBF ratings are not intended to predict an individual drive’s reliability. MTBF does not constitute a warranty.
