Part Numbering Information

Micron’s M500DC SSD is available in different configurations and densities. Visit micron.com for a list of valid part numbers.

General Description

Micron’s M500DC solid state drive (SSD) uses a single-chip controller with a SATA interface on the system side and n-channels of Micron NAND Flash internally. Packaged in an HDD replacement enclosure, the SSD integrates easily in existing storage infrastructures.

The M500 DC is designed to support and manage the needs of enterprise platforms that utilize high IOPs traffic previously supported solely by SLC solutions, it provides the performance, endurance, and data integrity required by these growing environments.

Logical Block Address Configuration

The drive is set to report the number of logical block addresses (LBA) that will ensure sufficient storage space for the specified density. Standard LBA settings, based on the IDEMA standard (LBA1-02), are shown below.
