Hiksemi D300 PRO 960GB Enterprise SATA III

What this part is

<p><strong>960GB enterprise-grade SATA III SSD | Dual-core controller with external DRAM cache | 5,256 TBW endurance at 3 DWPD | AES 256-bit hardware encryption | 5-year limited warranty</strong></p> <p>The HIKSEMI D300 PRO 960GB is an enterprise-grade 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive built for data centres and servers that demand consistent, reliable storage performance around the clock. Powered by the MAS1101 dual-core controller paired with external DRAM cache and Yangtze Memory 128-layer 3D TLC NAND, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 536 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 504 MB/s, with random read and write performance of up to 96,000 and 53,000 IOPS, respectively. A rated endurance of 5,256 TBW — equivalent to 3 Drive Writes Per Day over the warranty period — makes it well suited to write-intensive workloads. Data integrity is protected through end-to-end data protection, power-loss protection via tantalum capacitors, AES 256-bit hardware encryption, and an exception read-only firmware auto-reload function that safeguards the data mapping table without requiring a power cycle. Signal calibration technology automatically extracts optimal signal parameters across multiple platforms, ensuring broad compatibility with major server and array card configurations. Hot firmware updates apply without a system restart, reducing maintenance downtime. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the D300 PRO 960GB is a dependable enterprise SATA SSD for storage-critical environments.</p> <h3>Extreme Stable Performance</h3> <p>Dual-Core Controller, Quality 3D TLC NAND Flash, External DRAM and Intelligent Thermal Throttling Algorithm ensures extremely stable performance</p> <h3>Stronger Data Protection</h3> <p>When an error occurs during SSD operation, D300 PRO will automatically enter rescue mode without powering off.<br /> In this mode, you can enter commands to completely restore the data mapping table to ensure user data safety</p> <h3>Great Compatibility with Signal Calibration Function</h3> <p>D300 PRO adpots signal calibration methods to automatically extract the best signal parameters of multiple platforms, which can significantly improves its compatibility</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Sequential read speeds of up to 536 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 504 MB/s for consistent data centre throughput.</li> <li>Random read up to 96,000 IOPS and random write up to 53,000 IOPS (4 KiB QD32) to handle complex mixed I/O workloads.</li> <li>5,256 TBW rated endurance (3 DWPD) sustains write-intensive enterprise operations over the full warranty period.</li> <li>Tantalum capacitor power-loss protection (PLP) safeguards data integrity during unexpected power failures.</li> <li>AES 256-bit hardware encryption engine secures sensitive data at rest without impacting drive performance.</li> <li>Exception rescue mode restores the data mapping table without powering off, protecting user data during error events.</li> <li>Signal calibration technology improves compatibility across multiple server platforms and array card configurations.</li> <li>Hot firmware update support applies patches without a system restart, minimising maintenance disruption.</li> <li>2 million hours MTBF and UBER of 10⁻¹⁷ for enterprise-class reliability.</li> </ul> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Brand: HIKSEMI</li> <li>Warranty: 60 Months</li> <li>Product Weight: 85g</li> <li>Product Dimensions (L x W x H): 10.02 x 6.985 x 0.680mm</li> <li>Capacity: 960 GB</li> <li>Form Factor: 2.5"</li> <li>Interface: SATA 6Gb/s</li> <li>Sequential Read: 536MB/s</li> <li>Sequential Write: 504MB/s</li> <li>Endurance: 5256 TB</li> <li>DRAM Cache: true</li> <li>Heatsink Included: false</li> </ul> <h3>What's in the Box</h3> <ul> <li>1 x Hiksemi D300 PRO 960GB Enterprise SATA III</li> </ul> <h3>Why HIKSEMI</h3> <p>Hiksemi is committed to providing cutting-edge storage solutions that deliver performance, reliability, and value.
