FSC PY-SS96NMF 960GB 2.5 inch SATA III Read-Intensive SSD

The FSC PY-SS96NMF is a 960GB 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive engineered specifically for read-intensive workloads in servers, workstations, and NAS systems. Unlike consumer SSDs that prioritize burst performance, this drive delivers consistent, predictable throughput and high endurance for 24/7 operation. With TCG Opal 2.0 self-encryption, it safeguards data at rest without performance overhead, making it a dependable choice for enterprise environments.

Highlights

• 960GB capacity with 2.5-inch form factor and SATA III 6Gb/s interface
• Read-intensive endurance: 1752 TBW (1 DWPD for 5 years)
• Sequential read up to 550 MB/s and write up to 520 MB/s
• Random performance: 90,000 IOPS read and 80,000 IOPS write (4KB)
• TCG Opal 2.0 self-encrypting drive for data security
• MTBF of 2,000,000 hours for high reliability

In daily use

In read-heavy applications such as web servers, media streaming, and virtual desktop infrastructure, the PY-SS96NMF excels by serving data rapidly and consistently. Its TLC NAND flash is tuned for longevity under constant read loads, while the SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility with existing storage backplanes. The drive operates silently and consumes minimal power—just 2.5W during active reads and 0.5W idle—reducing energy costs in dense deployments.
