The 5200 Entry SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) are SSDs for ThinkSystem servers. The drives use Micron 64-layer 3D NAND flash memory technology with a SATA 6Gbps interface and provide an affordable solution for read-intensive applications such as boot, web servers, lower data rate operational databases and analytics.<br><br>This product guide provides essential presales information to understand the 5200 Entry SSD offerings, their key features and specifications, components and options, and configuration guidelines. This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the SSDs and consider their use in IT solutions.<br><br>SSDs have a huge but finite number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, which affect how long they can perform write operations and thus their life expectancy.
Enterprise Entry SSDs typically have a better cost per read IOPS ratio but lower endurance and performance compa
