OCZ has announced that Intel has approved their enterprise-grade Deneva 2 mSATA SSDs for use in Ultrabooks configured with Intel’s Smart Response Technology (SRT). SRT acts as a caching mechanism for an internal hard drive and SRT only works with SSDs approved by Intel. OCZ will offer both 30GB (D2CSTEMS1A10-0030) and 60GB (D2CSTEMS1A10-0060) Deneva 2 mSATA SSDs.
This certification opens the door for Ultrabook manufacturers to plug in Deneva 2 SSDs when they like. This presumably also applies to the desktop boards that support Intel’s SRT. To this point only a handful of mSATA SSDs have been approved by Intel for use with SRT.
The OCZ Deneva 2 mSATA drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2141 or SF-2181 processor and feature 2Xnm MLC NAND in configurations of 30GB, 60GB and 120GB, though the latter isn’t part of the SRT approval, likely for price point considerations. The SSDs use the SATA 3Gb/s interface and deliver up to up to 280 MB/s read speeds and 260 MB/s writes in the 120GB model.
