<b>Lower Total Cost of Ownership</b>
Consume significantly less power than with HDDs and lower Flash storage costs.
<b>Enhanced Performance</b>
Reduce bottlenecks and maximize throughput with enterprise-level performance—including excellent sustained random performance—which is achieved with the help of Micron’s XPERT feature set.
<b>High Reliability</b>
Protect mission-critical data with enterprise-class data path, power-loss, and error code correction (ECC) protection.
<b>High Quality</b>
Rest assured that the M500DC has been designed, manufactured, and rigorously tested by a trusted NAND supplier.
<b>Optimized Endurance</b>
Achieve 1 to 3 drive fills per day over 5 years, reducing the need to replace drives more frequently.
<b>High Capacities</b>
Satisfy ever-increasing storage needs with capacities up to 800GB.
<b>Superior Support</b>
Get world-class support and technical resources from a vertically integrated NAND Flash expert.
<b>The Perfect Balance</b>
With the M500DC, you don’t have to sacrifice endurance for better performance. When designing the M500DC, our NAND experts used their in-depth knowledge of the NAND device, firmware, and controller to achieve the perfect balance, making the M500DC a great fit for the heavy workloads of data center application
<b>XPERT Features</b>
The M500DC uses our XPERT features—including adaptive read management (ARM/OR), data path protection, redundant array of independent NAND (RAIN), reduced command access latency (ReCAL), and NAND customizations—to improve performance and reliability, provide the flexibility to integrate the SSD to the end application, and ensure long-term, trouble-free operation.
