Demonstrating its commitment to delivering leading-edge technologies and solutions for enterprise-class servers and storage systems, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) today announced that its Ultrastar™ enterprise-class solid state drive (SSD) family is the industry’s first to use 25-nanometer (nm) single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash. The Ultrastar SSD400S.B family combines Hitachi’s proven enterprise hard disk drive (HDD) expertise with Intel’s® extensive capabilities in developing high-endurance SLC NAND flash memory and advanced SSD technology. The drives also conform to the Trusted Computing Group’s Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class encryption specification, helping customers protect sensitive data, and reduce the costs associated with drive retirement and reuse.
“Security is a growing concern among enterprise customers, especially those in financial services, e-commerce and online transaction processing,” said Brendan Collins, vice president of product marketing, Hitachi GST. “Our solid state drives are designed to deliver the highest level of performance, while reducing total cost of ownership. With our new 25nm SLC SSDs, our enterprise customers now have the highest level of data protection in an SSD without compromising system performance, reliability and endurance.”
The new Ultrastar SSD400S.B family is available in 100GB, 200GB and 400GB capacities, and features 2.5-inch 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. This provides unique value to customers who are increasingly looking to tiered storage as a method of managing today's datacenters.
ATP Electronics, a leading flash memory manufacturer known for its high quality, durable flash and DRAM memory modules, announced the launch of its industrial grade SLC (Single Level Cell) Solid State Drive (SSD). The ATP Velocity SI Pro 2.5” SATA III SSD is ideal for Industrial PC and high end computing devices in which extreme performance and reliability are required. With a stable performance read speed of up to 500 MB/s, a write speed of up to 500 MB/s, and 4K random read IOPS of up to 60, 000, the Velocity SSD SI pro is also the ideal solution for enterprise and industrial grade applications.
ATP Velocity SI Pro SSD is thoroughly evaluated with shock and vibration tests and utilizes an industrial grade SLC NAND flash with high endurance capabilities and high read/write IOPS. The Total Bytes Written (TBW) for the available capacities is 1,000TB for the 30GB capacity, 2,000 TB for 60GB, 4,000 TB for 120GB, and 8,000TB for 240GB. The new SSD incorporates industrial grade temperature capabilities with an operating range of -40°C to +85°C, and offers heightened data security with AES 128/256 encryption.
Twice as fast as SATA-II, the new Verbatim 2.5" SATA-III SSDs take full advantage of the SATA-III bandwidth and provide extraordinary data transfer rates up to 550MB/sec READ and 510MB/sec WRITE speed, faster system boot up and improved system responsiveness. These advantages make Verbatim SSDs an ideal hard drive replacement storage solution for notebook and desktop PCs. The products are available now.
SSDs use semi-conductor flash memory chips to store data so, unlike hard disk drives, have no moving parts. This makes them more mechanically stable and far less prone to failure. Additionally they make no noise and only use very little energy.
Rüdiger Theobald, Marketing Director for Verbatim EUMEA: “The new Verbatim 2.5" SATA-III SSDs are very fast and offer longer battery life, faster response, additional robustness and faster system boot up. The increased shock resistance of SSD technology makes them the ideal storage replacement in portable computers due to the fact that hard disk drives are more susceptible to shocks.”
