Internal SSDs Support

What is an SSD?
Solid State Drive. An SSD is a solid state drive that employs flash memory and used for all of your data storage needs. Compared to a traditional mechanical hard disk drive (HDD), SSDs do not have moving parts, generate less heat, use less power, and offer better performance.
What are the benefits of an SSD?
With transfer speeds far superior to mechanical hard disk drives (HDD), SSD benefits include: decreased system boot time, more efficient multi-tasking, and faster system responsiveness. SSDs offer significant performance improvements when replacing your current system’s hard drive (HDD), greater shock resistance, reduced power consumption, and longer battery life for laptop applications.
Can I use an SSD and an HDD together?
Yes, as long as your host computer has at least two available interface ports. The interface type will depend on the host computer and SSD. Refer to your motherboard documentation for additional information.
What operating systems are supported?
Verbatim SSDs function independently of the host computer's operating system.
Can I install the operating system onto the SSD?
Yes, please follow the instructions provided by your OS to create a bootable system drive.
What is the host interface?
The host interface is how your SSD will connect with your host computer. Internal SSDs connect to your computer via SATA III or PCIe interfaces. This interface type will be marked on the Verbatim SSD packaging. For additional information on your host computer's host interface, please reference the host computer's motherboard documentation.
What is SATA?
Serial ATA. This is an interface between the SSD and the host computer. Verbatim SSDs use the current generation SATA III, which is an 6 Gb/s backwards compatible interface. Many PCs utilize this interface as it became popular in the early 2000s and many PCs are still made with this interface today.
What is an SSD form factor?
Verbatim 2.5" SATA SSDs feature a 7mm high form factor compatible with most systems equipped with 3.5" or 2.5" hard drives (HDD). Depending on your installation, you may need an adapter bracket. Check your system documentation for additional information.
How do I install the Verbatim SSD?
For general installation guidance, please access the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com, find your SSD model, and navigate to the Quick Start Guide (QSG) and related documents.
How often should I update the SSD firmware?
Verbatim recommends checking for updated firmware every few months or so. The firmware updates will be published on the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com.
What is Secure Erase?
Secure Erase is a feature of the Verbatim SSD Utility. The Secure Erase feature overwrites and erases all data and resets your SSD to the factory default state. Warning, all of the data on the SSD will be erased and cannot be recovered.
What is S.M.A.R.T.?
S.M.A.R.T., an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, is an open standard that allows an SSD or hard disk drive to automatically detect its health and report potential failures. When a failure is recorded by S.M.A.R.T., users can choose to replace the drive to prevent unexpected outage or data loss. Moreover, S.M.A.R.T. can inform users of impending failures while there is still time to perform proactive actions, such as copy data to another device. S.M.A.R.T. is a feature of the Verbatim SSD Utility.
What is TBW?
Terabytes Written (TBW)is defined as the total amount of data in terabytes that can be written to a SSD before the SSD may begin to become unreliable. The SSD’s remaining life metric determines remaining SSD life span by comparing the SSD’s maximum TBW rating to actual terabytes written. Verbatim SSDs covered by this warranty have maximum TBW ratings that can be accessed on the respective product specification sheets located at www.verbatim.com. The SSD’s remaining life begins at 100% and will decrease to zero (0%) as the end user utilizes the SSD. Remaining life can be checked with the Verbatim SSD Utility.
What is MTBF?
Mean Time Between Failures. An electronics industry metric that predicts elapsed time between inherent failures of a mechanical or electronic system, during normal system operation.
What are IOPS?
Input/Output Operations per Second. This is an industry standard metric that measures the random read/write performance of simultaneous inputs/outputs based using a 4k block size. The higher the IOPS the better the performance.
What is the warranty on my Verbatim SSD?
Verbatim offers a Limited Three Year Warranty up to the Terabytes Written (TBW) rating for our internal SSDs. Additional details can be found on the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com.
What is a controller?
The controller is an embedded device that acts like a processor that executes firmware-level software for the SSD. The controller model varies depending on the SSD. To find which controller your SSD utilizes, access the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com, find your SSD model, and navigate to the spec sheet. Controllers control read/write operations, bad block management, wear leveling, garbage collection, and other SSD operations.
Can I use this SSD in a server environment?
Verbatim SSDs are intended for use in client PC applications, and are not intended for server environments.
Where can I get additional information on Verbatim SSDs?
Spec sheet, quick start guide, and additional documentation can be found on the Verbatim website by SSD model. Please visit www.verbatim.com for additional information.
