The 5200 Entry SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) are new SSDs for ThinkSystem servers. The drives use Micron 64-layer 3D NAND flash memory technology with a SATA 6Gbps interface and provide an affordable solution for read-intensive applications such as boot, web servers, lower data rate operational databases and analytics.

• Industry standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch form factors
• New generation 64-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory
• Suitable for read-intensive workloads with an endurance of between 0.6 and 1.1 drive writes per day (DWPD) for 5 years
• 6 Gbps SATA host interface
• High reliability and enhanced ruggedness
• 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
