The ThinkSystem PM1653 Read Intensive SAS 24Gb SSDs, in capacities of up to 30.72 TB, are next-generation high-performance 24Gb SAS self-encrypting SSDs (SEDs) suitable for a wide range of applications of running on ThinkSystem servers.

Unlike 6 Gb/s SATA drives, the 24 Gb/s SAS interface on these drives supports full duplex data transfer for higher performance, and enterprise-level error recovery for better availability. By combining the enhanced reliability of Samsung NAND flash memory silicon with NAND Flash management technologies, PM1653 SSDs deliver endurance of up to 1 drive writes per day (DWPD) for 5 years, which is suitable for many enterprise applications with read-intensive storage characteristics.

Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) provide benefits by encrypting data on-the-fly at the drive level with no performance impact, by providing instant secure erasure thereby making the data no longer readable, and by enabling auto-locking to secure active data if a drive is misplaced or stolen from a system while in use. These features are essential for many businesses, especially those storing customer data.
