Lenovo 5300 240 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SATA (SATA/600) - Server Device Supported - 1.5 DWPD - 657 TB TBW - 540 MB/s Maximum Read Transfer Rate - 256-bit AES Encryption Standard

The 5300 Entry SATA solid-state drives (SSDs) are new SSDs for ThinkSystem servers. The drives use Micron 96-layer 3D NAND flash memory technology with a SATA 6Gbps interface and provide an affordable solution for read-intensive applications such as boot, web servers, lower data rate operational databases and analytics.

The 5300 Series of SATA SSDs are the follow-on to the 5200 line of SSDs. The two series share the same controller, firmware, interface and features. The key difference is that the 5300 Series uses a new 96-layer 3D NAND storage medium compared to the 64-layer technology in the 5200. The 5300 drives have higher endurance and lower latency compared to the 5200 SSDs. Lenovo also offers high-performance self-encrypting drives (SEDs) in the 5300 Series. These SSDs adhere to the Trusted Computing Group Enterprise Security Subsystem Class cryptographic standard (TCG Enterprise SSC).
