Next generation SSD from a proven enterprise storage player 
Hitachi GST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage expertise in Serial Attached 
SCSI (SAS) design reliability, firmware, customer qualification and system integration to the 
new Ultrastar SSD400S.B 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. This combination makes Hitachi GST a leading HDD/SSD provider 
with the experience and technology needed to meet escalating reliability, endurance, and 
performance in the most demanding enterprise environments.
Extreme endurance and performance for the enterprise
The new Ultrastar SSD400S.B delivers high sequential throughput, up to 536MB/s read and 
502MB/s write (6Gb SAS). The Ultrastar SSD400S.B also delivers up to 57,500 read and 
25,500 write IOPS, reaching speeds 100 times faster than HDDs, allowing rapid access to 
“hot” enterprise data for improved productivity and operational efficiency. Since less SSDs are 
required to achieve the same HDD IOPS performance, the new Ultrastar SSD400S.B 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.B family combines enterprise-grade SLC NAND flash memory, advanced 
endurance management firmware and power loss data management techniques to extend reliability, 
endurance, and sustained performance over the life of the SSD. The Ultrastar SSD400S.B family 
achieves an extraordinary 0.44% annual failure rate (AFR) or two million hour mean-time-between-
failure (MTBF). The 400GB capacity Ultrastar SSD endures up to 35 Petabytes (PB) of random writes 
over the life of the drive – the equivalent of writing 19.2 Terabytes (TB) per day for five years.
For complete end-to-end data protection and reliability, the Ultrastar SSD400S.B family 
incorporates the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF) standard, extended error correction code (ECC), 
Exclusive-OR (XOR) parity to protect against flash die failure, parity-checked internal data paths 
without an external write cache, and an exclusive power loss data management feature that 
does not require supercapacitors. The Ultrastar SSD400S.B family is backed by a five year 
limited warranty, or the maximum Petabytes (PB) written (based on capacity).
