The Right Choice for Server Boot Drives

Built on Western Digital 64-layer 3D NAND, the Ultrastar® DC SA210* SATA SSD is
Western Digital’s fi rst SSD purpose-built for enterprise boot and edge applications.
The Ultrastar DC SA210 offers outstanding value and provides the best alternative
to enterprise boot HDDs. With capacities as low as 120GB and up to 1.92TB, you can
choose the right capacity point for your operating system and logging requirements.
End-to-end data protection and LDPC error correction mechanisms provide greater
reliability and help support a fi ve-year warranty. Ultrastar DC SA210 has been validated
to operate with Windows Server
Linux® operating systems.

A Natural SSD for Edge Computing &
Read-intensive Environments

Edge computing is pushing applications, like content delivery, away from centralized
data centers and closer to those who are consuming the content. In such environments,
data access speed is essential. The Ultrastar DC SA210 delivers up to 510MiB/s
sequential read throughput and 64K IOPS random read performance to unleash the
full potential of your server grade system and its high-end CPU capabilities. Such
applications can also benefi t from higher capacity offerings.

The Ultrastar DC SA210 is designed to be cost-optimized and offer suffi cient endurance
for read-intensive environments. It is architected to minimize the probability of data
loss due to unexpected power loss yet still be a cost-effective alternative to traditional
enterprise SSDs that rely on costly hold-up capacitors.

To address encryption requirements, the Ultrastar DC SA210 supports self-encryption
drive (SED) capability compliant with TCG OPAL 2.01 to protect data from unauthorized
access. The DC SA210 also includes Instant Secure Erase functionality to speed and
simplify drive redeployment and retirement.

M.2 and 2.5-inch Form Factor Support

Ultrastar DC SA210 suppor ts the M.2 2280 form factor, which is becoming much more
widely implemented within 1U and blade servers and broadly adopted by motherboard
manufacturers. The M.2 means a much smaller physical footprint and is quickly
becoming the de-facto SSD-only form factor. Additionally, the Ultrastar DC SA210 is
available in 2.5-inch to serve as a true drop-in replacement for mechanical HDDs. Both
form factors are offered across all fi ve capacity points, from the smallest at 120GB to the
largest at 1.92TB.
