Frequently Asked Questions
What is the E1.S form factor?
E1.S is part of the EDSFF (Enterprise & Data Center SSD Form Factor) family. It looks like a short "ruler" and is designed to fit vertically in servers to allow better airflow and cooling compared to traditional 2.5-inch U.2 drives.
What does TCG Opal mean?
TCG Opal is a security specification for self-encrypting drives (SEDs). It allows the drive to encrypt data automatically using dedicated hardware, ensuring data remains secure even if the drive is physically stolen, without slowing down the server's CPU.
Is 1 DWPD enough for my needs?
1 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) is the industry standard for "Read Intensive" drives. If your workload involves mostly reading data (like streaming video, web hosting, or boot drives) rather than constantly recording new data, this drive offers the best value.
Can I plug this into a standard U.2 slot?
No, E1.S drives use a different physical connector and shape than U.2/U.3 drives. You must have a server backplane or carrier specifically designed for EDSFF E1.S modules.
Why This Is a Smart Choice
The Micron 7450 PRO 3.84TB E1.S is a forward-thinking investment. By adopting the E1.S form factor, you are future-proofing your infrastructure for better thermal efficiency and density.
Combined with TCG Opal encryption for compliance-ready security and Micron's trusted 176-layer NAND, this drive delivers the high-speed read performance essential for modern cloud and AI applications. Secure your data and accelerate your read workloads today.
