Write rate of 12 GB/day is multiplied by module density. Therefore a 2 GB module Write Rate is 24 GB/day and a 4 GB module Write Rate is 48 GB/day. 2. Assumes a data streaming usage model. Please contact Intel Applications Engineering for applicability of other use models. Mean Time Between Failure The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is calculated based on a Part Stress Analysis. MTBF for Intel’s Z-U130 Solid State Drives is five million hours. Conditions for the calculation are as follows: • Power-On hours: 8,760 per year • Operating time: 100% of power-on hours • Active/Idle duty cycle: 90% of the time • Environmental Conditions: typical operating ranges John
