Description
The Accortec 960 GB Solid State Drive (SSD) in a compact 2.5" form factor delivers enterprise-grade speed, reliability, and efficiency for modern data centers, performance-driven workstations, and dense server environments. Built around a robust SAS (12 Gb/s) interface, this 960 GB SSD unlocks immediate benefits for mission-critical workloads, including transactional databases, real-time analytics, virtualization, and large-scale content workflows. With a focus on consistent latency, high IOPS, and sustained throughput, the drive is engineered to reduce bottlenecks, accelerate data access, and help you achieve faster query responses, tighter backup windows, and snappier application boot times. Its compact footprint enables higher server density without sacrificing reliability or performance, making it an optimal choice for rack-maced deployments, back-end storage pools, and backplane-enabled servers that demand both speed and resilience. The Accortec SAS SSD is designed to balance performance with durability, delivering predictable performance under heavy concurrency and long, sustained workloads. Whether you’re running a CRM, TMS, data warehouse, or big data analytics platform, this drive is built to maintain strong, consistent performance while helping lower total cost of ownership through improved efficiency and reduced maintenance needs.
- Premium enterprise performance: Harness high IOPS and exceptionally low latency thanks to a multi-channel flash architecture, intelligent caching, and firmware optimizations. These capabilities sustain remarkable sequential and random transfer speeds even under peak workloads, enabling faster transactions and quicker data access for databases, virtualization hosts, and large-scale analytics.
- Enterprise-grade reliability: Engineered for continuous operation in demanding data-center environments with robust error detection, automatic data protection, proactive health monitoring, and advanced wear leveling. Bad-block management and ongoing firmware refinements work together to extend usable life and protect critical data during peak activity.
- Resilient, flexible storage topology: Dual-port SAS compatibility (where supported by the host) provides redundancy and alternate paths for mission-critical deployments, reducing risk during maintenance windows or controller failures. This design translates into higher uptime for databases, virtualized platforms, and storage arrays.
- Energy-aware design and thermal control: Focused on data-center efficiency, the drive emphasizes low idle power and intelligent thermal management. Reduced heat output lowers cooling demands in dense racks, while thermal safeguards prevent throttling during sustained workloads to preserve data integrity and performance.
- Compact, scalable deployment: A standard 2.5" drive form factor that fits readily into common server backplanes and drive bays, delivering enterprise-grade SAS performance without sacrificing density. The 960 GB capacity provides ample space for active data, hot caches, and frequently accessed indexes to support scalable, responsive applications.

How to install Accortec 960 Gb Solid State Drive
- Prepare your system: Power down the server or workstation and disconnect power. Confirm that your server backplane or PCIe/SAS controller supports 2.5" SAS drives and that you have the appropriate SAS cables for 12 Gb/s operation.
- Handle with care: Remove packaging and handle the drive by the edges. Avoid touching the connectors or components to prevent static damage.
- Insert into the drive bay: Slide the 2.5" SAS SSD into an available drive bay in the server chassis, aligning connectors with the backplane. Secure the drive with screws or the drive carrier as required by your chassis design.
- Connect cables and power: Attach the SAS data cable(s) to the drive’s SAS interface on the backplane or HBA, ensuring a clean, secure connection. Connect the power cable to the drive as well.
- Power on and recognize the drive: Boot the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI or the RAID controller management utility. Confirm that the Accortec drive is detected as a 960 GB SAS SSD and identify its slot/port mapping.
- Configure for use: If you’re using a RAID controller, add the drive to an existing array or designate it as a hot spare as needed. If running in pass-through or JBOD, initialize the drive for standalone use.
- Firmware and health checks: Check for any firmware updates from the vendor and apply if available. Use SMART/health monitoring software provided by the controller or server vendor to monitor drive health and performance.
- Operating system preparation: In the OS, initialize the disk, create a partition scheme suitable for the workload, and format with the preferred file system. Integrate drive health alerts and routine maintenance schedules as part of your storage policy.
- Performance tuning and best practices: Enable write-back or write-through caching per your controller’s guidance, configure queue depth and IOPS targets appropriate for your workload, and monitor latency, throughput, and queue lengths to ensure peak performance is sustained.
