Solid State Drives
480GB EDGE™ PFX3 SSD - SATA 6Gb/s, 2.5" (w/ Power Failure Protection)
SKU: PE250577
Engineered for server and data center environments, the EDGE PFX3 SSD delivers exceptional performance while providing valuable data security features. The PFX3 is a faster, lighter, more durable, and more reliable storage solution compared to traditional spinning disk hard drives.
Full capacitive backup protects against data loss and corruption stemming from unexpected system power loss – a critical feature for server storage. 256-bit AES hardware encryption (Full Disk Encryption) protects stored data from unauthorized access. Utilizing a premium controller, the PFX3 achieves excellent read/write and IOPS speeds. Substantial performance gains in data backups, file transfers, and boot times are to be expected.
A suite of additional security and durability features such as T.R.I.M., S.M.A.R.T., Secure Erase and DataRefresh further enhance data efficiency and increase the lifespan of the drive. PFX3 SSDs are TAA compliant, come backed by a 5-year warranty*, and include expert U.S. support.
