ZA250CM1A002 Seagate Barracuda 250GB SATA 2.5" Consumer SSD

Enterprise-Ready 2.5in SATA Client SSD Optimised for OS and Read-Mostly Loads with the ZA250CM1A002

The ZA250CM1A002 is a 250GB 2.5in SATA internal SSD engineered as a dependable boot and general-purpose flash tier for desktop, laptop, and compact edge platforms where a SATA bay is the primary storage interface. By focusing on consistent, low-latency access rather than heavy write endurance, ZA250CM1A002 fits environments that need predictable OS responsiveness and application start-up performance without overprovisioning cost or power budget.

Built on TLC NAND, ZA250CM1A002 delivers up to 560MB/s sequential read and 530MB/s sequential write, aligning with the practical limits of SATA while improving queue handling versus rotating media. For mixed small-block access, up to 90K IOPS read and 90K IOPS write supports boot storms, patch cycles, and light workstation profiles. The 120TBW rating and 0.263DWPD over 5 years position ZA250CM1A002 for read-mostly or limited-write caching and acceleration layers, while 1.8M hours MTBF and low power draw (0.185W idle, 2.6W active) help maintain thermals and uptime in dense client or edge enclosures.

Why Choose the ZA250CM1A002?

The ZA250CM1A002 provides an efficient density-to-performance balance for standard SATA fleets, enabling straightforward drop-in upgrades and consistent provisioning across distributed endpoints. Its reliability profile supports scalable rollouts, while the endurance envelope is tuned for OS, application, and cache tiers that are performance-sensitive but not write-intensive.

Seagate applies disciplined validation and firmware control to deliver stable behavior under typical client and edge duty cycles, with design choices aligned to modern data centre operational priorities such as power efficiency, predictable lifecycle management, and broad platform compatibility.

Key Applications:

• Client OS and boot volume
• Desktop and laptop SATA upgrades
• Read-mostly caching and application acceleration
• Light workstation scratch and project storage
• Edge appliance general-purpose flash tier
