With speedy interface options the Ultrastar SSD400S delivers sequential speeds of up to 535MB/s read and 500MB/s write with 6Gb/s SAS, and 380MB/s read and 350MB/s write with 4Gb/s FC.

Other highlights include five year warranty, or the maximum petabytes written, an error rate of 1 in 1016 and 2 million hours MTBF. The drives draw 1.7W during idle and 5.5W in use.
