Proven enterprise storage experience
Hitachi GST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 
and Fibre Channel (FC) design reliability, firmware, customer qualification and system integration in the 
new Ultrastar™ SSD400S solid-state drive (SSD) family. The synergistic relationship between Hitachi’s 
new throughput-enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs provides cost effective, end-to-end enterprise-
class storage solutions, delivering reliability, compatibility, capacity, cost and system performance. 
Hitachi GST storage products are the clear choice for the most demanding enterprise environments.
Maximum performance, reliability and endurance
The new Ultrastar SSD400S family delivers the highest sequential throughput, up to 516MB/s read / 
458MB/s write, and up to 41K read / 21K write random IOPS. Reaching speeds 100 times faster 
than HDDs, SSDs  enable rapid access to “hot” enterprise data for improved productivity 
and operational efficiency. Since fewer SSDs are required to achieve the same HDD IOPS 
performance, the new Ultrastar SSD400S family offers significant value in terms of IOPS per 
Watt, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption, efficient 
cooling and reduced space requirements.
The Ultrastar SSD400S family combines enterprise-grade SLC NAND flash memory, advanced 
endurance management firmware and exclusive Power-loss Data Management technology to 
extend reliability, endurance, and sustained performance over the life of the SSD. The Ultrastar 
SSD family achieves an extraordinary 0.44% annual failure rate (AFR) and endures up to 35PB of 
random writes over the life of the drive—the equivalent of writing 19.2 TB per day for five years! 
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability, the Ultrastar SSD400S family incorporates 
the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF) standard, extended error correction code (ECC), Exclusive-OR 
(XOR) parity to protect against flash die failure and parity-checked internal data paths without 
an external write cache. The Ultrastar SSD400S family is backed by a five-year limited warranty.
Eco-friendly storage
The Ultrastar SSD400S family demonstrates Hitachi ecological leadership with its halogen-
free design and power-efficient operation. Both these features helped qualify the drive for the 
Hitachi EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact in 
the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
