MLC SSD, Sorry for being unclear, googling it is difficult as they were never released to non DC providers (these are custom for oracle) so data sheets are hard to get (I only have partial data, rest is from the sas inquiry and mode pages). You can deduce some of the specs from the name as they are the same for all hgst drives: HUS - hgst uktrastar standard MH - MLC high endurance (4PB is claimed for the 200GB drives, verified this by looking at the lifetime counter and the bytes written) 4020 - max spec 400gb, device is 200gb A - generation S - 2.5" formfactor S2 - 12GB/s (sas3), dual port 1 - probably means custom spec all my hgst former netapp/sun/oracle drives have this set to 1 both SSD and hdd 0 - crypto sanetize Haven't seen them a lot on eBay last month but caching drives with low percentage writes do show up from time to time in batches.
