Goodram SSD Disk 960GB SD05M SATA 2.5" SSD GESD05SA00-960NS10B (DWPD 1)

GOODRAM SD05M 960GB is a 2.5" internal SSD, aimed mainly at server and more serious workloads, where reliability and durability are more important than "budget for home PC". You get almost 1TB capacity, speeds up to 530MB/s when reading and 500MB/s when writing via SATA III (6Gb/s) interface. The focus here is on stable 24/7 operation, low consumption and data protection. The combination of 1 DWPD, Power Loss Protection and hardware encryption makes it a quite serious choice for a system or storage disk in server and professional environments.

What you get

With a capacity of 960GB you have enough space for an operating system, applications, databases or a few virtual machines, without compromising on space. Speeds up to 530MB/s read and 500MB/s write, together with up to 98 000 IOPS (4K random read) and 33 000 IOPS (4K random write), mean fast access to many small files – a typical scenario for server environments and virtualization. 1 DWPD shows that the disk is designed to take a full daily rewrite of its capacity during the warranty period, which is key for heavily loaded systems with many write operations. Add to that 2 000 000 hours MTBF and functions like End-to-End Data Path Protection and Power Loss Protection (PLP), and you get a device optimized for minimal risk of data loss or corruption. Hardware AES-XTS 256-bit encryption with support for TCG Opal 2.0 also gives you strong control over security – useful for servers with sensitive information.

• 960GB capacity – enough space for an operating system, applications, databases or a few VMs in one disk.
• SATA III interface (6 Gb/s) and form factor 2.5" – easy integration into existing server and desktop systems without adapters.
• Speed up to 530MB/s read and 500MB/s write – stable performance for boot partitions, applications and transactional workloads.
• Up to 98 000 IOPS (4K random read) and 33 000 IOPS (4K random write) – fast handling of many small files, typical for server and virtualized environments.
• 1 DWPD and 2 000 000 hours MTBF – oriented towards 24/7 workload with high write endurance and long operational life.
• AES-XTS 256-bit encryption + TCG Opal 2.0 – hardware data protection, suitable for environments with high security requirements.
• Power Loss Protection and End-to-End Data Path Protection – additional security against data loss or damage when power fails and when transferring information.
• Low consumption – up to 3.1 W (active) and ~1.3 W (idle) – less heat and energy consumption in a rack with many disks.
• Weight 29 g and dimensions 100 x 69.85 x 7 mm – standard thin 2.5" chassis, convenient even for compact chassis.
• 60 months warranty – long-term coverage that fits the server orientation of the model.

Who is it suitable for

This SSD is aimed at server applications, NAS, virtualization and systems that work 24/7 and do many writes – from small business servers to more serious storage solutions. If you are looking for just a cheap SSD for a home computer, it may be "overkill" in terms of security features, but if your data is critical, these extras make sense. It is also suitable for environments where encryption and access control are mandatory.

The strongest in this model is the combination of endurance (1 DWPD, MTBF 2M hours), data protection (PLP, End-to-End, AES-XTS) and stable SATA speeds, which makes it a very reasonable choice for a reliable server and professional storage solution.
