Dahua C800N 512GB M.2 2280 NGFF SSD

Dahua C800N M.2 SSD

The Dahua 512GB M.2 SSD delivers dependable solid-state storage in the M.2 2280 NGFF form factor for Dahua recording platforms. This drive targets NVRs, edge appliances, and compact surveillance servers that need faster boot times and lower latency than spinning disks. The 512GB capacity supports operating system images, application caches, and short-term video buffering without occupying a 3.5-inch bay.

NGFF M.2 modules slide into standard motherboard or adapter slots on compatible Dahua hardware. SATA III signaling keeps integration straightforward on legacy and current platforms that lack NVMe controllers. Install teams can replace failing boot media or add cache tiers during field upgrades without reworking rack layouts.

Surveillance workloads mix sustained writes with random read bursts during playback and analytics. Solid-state media handles these patterns with consistent response times. Operators see quicker firmware loads and faster database indexing on VMS hosts that pair this module with larger bulk storage arrays.

Field technicians appreciate the single-screw M.2 mount on many Dahua chassis designs. The C800N series uses NAND flash rated for continuous read and write cycles common in security appliances. Thermal throttling behavior stays predictable inside enclosed NVR cases where airflow is limited.

Procurement managers align this SKU with Dahua recorder BOM lists to avoid third-party compatibility issues. The half-terabyte tier suits branch offices running eight to sixteen cameras with modest local retention. Larger sites often deploy multiple units as mirrored boot pairs for high availability.
