Today Fusion-io released new PCIe SSDs under the ioDrive2 family. These include a single processor ioDrive2 and dual-processor ioDrive2 Duo, which is an updated version of the 640GB ioDrive Duo we reviewed last month. The new models expand the capacity options up to 1.2TB on the ioDrive2 and 2.4TB on the ioDrive2 Duo.
ADATA has expanded their 500 Series of SSDs with the S510, which slots in as a mainstream offering alongside their enthusiast class SSD, the S511. The S510 leverages a SATA 6Gb/s interface, SandForce SF-2281 processor and 25nm asynchronous NAND to deliver speeds of 550 MB/s read, 510 MB/s write and 4K random write IOPS of
In their latest G-RAID storage array, G-Technology by Hitachi showcased the new 4TB Hitachi 7,200RPM hard drive in a device aimed at professional A/V editing markets. The new four-platter drive is making use of a new 1TB platter design, which increases available capacity 33% compared to current-generation 3TB hard drives.
At Computex in July, OCZ announced the RevoDrive Hybrid PCI Express storage solution, along with their updated family of RevoDrive 3 SSDs. The RevoDrive Hybrid is now shipping, and offers a unique combination of 1TB 2.5" hard drive coupled with a 100GB OCZ SSD on a PCIe card. The drives combined with caching software can deliver 1TB of
Texas Memory Systems introduced its first enterprise eMLC product packing 10TB of storage and Tier-0 performance with 4-8GB/s bandwidth and 320K random IOPS. All of this performance comes packed in a small 1U chassis with power requirements measuring only 250W.
At Flash Media Summit 2011, SandForce was the first to show off 24nm Toshiba MLC NAND working with their existing SATA 6.0Gb/s SF-2000 processor. As flash manufacturers continue to shrink existing NAND sizes, having compatibility means more options and ultimately lower prices for buyers.
Seagate has announced that they have shipped one million Momentus XT hybrid hard drives. The 2.5" hybrids offer 7200RPM platters with 500GB of capacity, boosted by 4GB of solid state SLC NAND used for caching frequent activities, making the XT more responsive than traditional hard drives.
Nimbus Data Systems has announced eBay has implemented more than 100TB of its S-class flash memory to power its VMWare server infrastructure.
OWC has quietly rolled out a significant improvement to their Mercury Extreme Pro 6G family of SSDs. Previously OWC was using 25nm IMFT synchronous NAND in these drives. Now the entire line has migrated to 32nm Toshiba toggle NAND, the same high quality and high performance NAND found in the OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS
