MZ7KM480HAHP-00005 Supermicro SM863 480GB SATA 2.5" Server SSD

Enterprise 2.5-inch SATA SSD for write-intensive tiers and resilient boot volumes with the MZ7KM480HAHP-00005

The MZ7KM480HAHP-00005 is a 480GB server-class 2.5-inch SATA SSD designed for dependable operation in legacy and current x86 platforms where SATA backplanes, RAID HBAs, and mixed-drive bays remain the standard. In virtualised hosts and database nodes, it provides a predictable latency profile for OS, log, and cache roles while keeping integration simple across common drive carriers and hot-swap cages.

Architecturally, the MZ7KM480HAHP-00005 targets write-intensive service layers using 3D NAND MLC with 3.6 DWPD endurance over 5 years (3080 TBW), aligning it with sustained log ingest and metadata workloads rather than burst-only caching. SATA 6Gb/s bandwidth is optimised for consistent sequential throughput up to 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write, while 4K performance up to 97k/26k IOPS supports multi-VM boot storms and transactional queues on RAID groups. AES-256 encryption and integrated power-loss protection strengthen data integrity during controller resets or facility power events, and the low active power profile helps manage per-bay thermals in dense chassis.

Why Choose the MZ7KM480HAHP-00005?

The MZ7KM480HAHP-00005 delivers a practical density-to-endurance balance for SATA-centric infrastructures that require enterprise reliability without redesigning storage planes. It scales cleanly in mirrored boot sets, RAID10 log volumes, and cache tiers, with a 2.0M-hour MTBF foundation and predictable behaviour under sustained writes, enabling standardised deployment across server fleets.

Supermicro aligns this storage option with data centre operational requirements by focusing on validated interoperability, consistent firmware behaviour, and reliability mechanisms such as PLP and cryptographic security, supporting controlled rollouts and long maintenance cycles in enterprise environments.

Key Applications:

• Database redo and transaction log volumes
• Write-intensive logging and telemetry pipelines
• Boot drives for virtualisation hosts
• Read/write cache tiers in SATA arrays
• Virtualisation datastores on SATA RAID backplanes
