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.
Extreme Stable Performance
Dual-Core Controller, Quality 3D TLC NAND Flash, External DRAM and Intelligent Thermal Throttling Algorithm ensures extremely stable performance
Stronger Data Protection
When an error occurs during SSD operation, D300 PRO will automatically enter rescue mode without powering off.
In this mode, you can enter commands to completely restore the data mapping table to ensure user data safety
Great Compatibility with Signal Calibration Function
D300 PRO adpots signal calibration methods to automatically extract the best signal parameters of multiple platforms, which can significantly improves its compatibility
Features
