¹ As used for storage capacity, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacit y may be less depending on operating environment.
² As used for transfer rate, 1 MB/s = 1 million bytes per second. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive cap acity,
and other factors.
³ Average read latency at 4KiB, QD=1.
⁴ Endura nce rating based on DW/D using 8KiB random write workload over 5 years.
⁵ MTBF spe cifications are based on a s ample p opulation and are estimated by statistical measurem ents an d acceleration algorithms under typical o perating conditions for this
drive model. MTBF ratings do not pre dict an individual drive’s reliability and do not constitute a warr anty.
⁶ The warranty for the product will expire on the earlier of (i) the date when the flash media has rea ched on e-percent (1%) of its remaining life or (ii) the expiration of the time
period associated with the product.
⁷ Composite temperature reading.
⁸ Values are based on ambient temperature. Avoid non-operational exposure to temperatures in excess of 40°C for periods exceeding three months.
