The 1.8" SFF design not only provides an option for a vastly reduced footprint, it also ships with low power consumption to meet the power requirements of organizations that require it. Compared to 2.5" SAS SSDs, the 1.8" Micro SAS SSDs draw 20% less power. These features coupled with the performance and endurance of sTec SSDs provide a valuable enterprise solution.
