Pulsar™ Solid State Drive

X

Enterprise-class, MLC-enabled solid state drives.

Seagate® Pulsar® solid state drives (SSD) deliver the price-performance benefits and the data integrity and drive endurance demanded by performance-hungry enterprise applications — all from the world leader in enterprise storage.

The newest generation, the Pulsar.2™ drive, allows you to:

  • Enterprise-class endurance (capable of up to 10 full drive writes per day)
  • Protection against unintended data change or loss
  • Capacities up to 800GB
  • A Self-Encrypting Drive option (800GB, SAS only)*

* Not available in all countries. Requires TCG-compliant host or controller support.

Drive endurance and data integrity

In addition to fast data storage and access, Pulsar.2 solid state drives deliver the data integrity and drive endurance needed in demanding enterprise environments.

The Pulsar.2 SSD can routinely complete more than ten full drive writes per day (or 15 petabytes over the life of the device). Moreover, these drives detect and correct automatically a multitude of data errors that can occur during normal drive operation.

Features

Pulsar Features 1

Delivers Endurance Protects data integrity

Pulsar.2™ solid state drives deliver enterprise-class endurance and data integrity with features such as:

  • Advanced media management technology and Protection Information (PI is SAS only) to help guard against unexpected data loss or change
  • Background media scanning helps protect against read disturb errors
  • Power loss data protection to help ensure data integrity during unexpected power loss
  • Wear-levelling algorithms that maximise the life of the device
  • Automatic intelligent I/O error detection and correction
  • Garbage collection techniques identify the next best block on the NAND flash to erase and rewrite before the space is actually needed.
Pulsar Features 2
