Frequently Asked Questions

Which form factors are available in the Gen5 line?

Three: E3.S (J100E/J130E), E1.S 9.5mm (J100S/J130S) and U.2/U.3 2.5-inch 15mm (J960, J980, J961, J981, J960C), all PCIe 5.0 x4 with NVMe 2.0.

What endurance (DWPD) and capacities are offered?

Read-intensive models (J100E, J100S, J960, J961) are rated 1 DWPD; mixed/write-intensive models (J130E, J130S, J980, J981) 3 DWPD. Capacities span 1.6 TB to 30.72 TB, with J961 topping out at 30.72 TB.

How does Gen5 differ from the Gen4 line?

Gen5 reaches 14.5 GB/s sequential read and 3.5M IOPS random read versus 7.4 GB/s and 1.75M IOPS for Gen4 U.2 drives, adds NVMe 2.0/OCP and FDP support, and introduces E3.S and E1.S form factors.

What workloads are the Gen5 drives built for?

J960/J961 for AI servers, databases, Ceph and AI checkpoints; J980/J981 for OLTP, logging and write-intensive cloud platforms; J100E/J100S for OCP servers and cloud data centers; J960C for compressible databases and logs.
