STEC, Inc., The SSD Company, a leading global provider of solid-state drive (SSD) technologies and products, today announced that its flagship ZeusIOPS® SSD family has been expanded to include a new ultra-high endurance model. Purpose-built for write-intensive enterprise applications, STEC’s new ZeusIOPS XE (Extreme Endurance) SSD is a Multi-Level Cell (MLC) flash-based drive that utilizes STEC’s CellCare™ technology to enable at least 30 full capacity writes per day, every day, for five years. Since these new high endurance drives can withstand more writes before they wear-out, they reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) in the data center. The new ZeusIOPS XE SSD will be featured in STEC’s booth (#107) beginning today at Server Design Summit (Santa Clara Marriott Hotel).
As data growth continues into the zettabytes and is expected to double every two years, accelerating access to data using enterprise SSDs as a server caching solution delivers strong value for application acceleration. However, caching software increases the writes to the SSD requiring more endurance from the drive to withstand drive wear that would otherwise deteriorate the storage media in a much shorter time. A similar problem occurs when advanced auto-tiering software places the most active hot data on SSDs as a priority in the storage hierarchy. For these types of write-intensive applications, many competing SSDs become challenged, wear out more quickly, require more frequent in-field replacements, and result in higher maintenance costs.
OCZ Technology Group, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, announces the Talos 2 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSD Series, the follow-up to the high performance, high capacity Talos Series previously available only in a 3.5 inch form factor.
With capacities up to 1TB now available in a compact 2.5-inch form factor, Talos 2 offers increased I/O performance and scalability in enterprise storage environments. Talos 2 leverages OCZ Virtualized Controller Architecture™ 2.0 technology which implements an intelligent complex command queuing structure with unique queue balancing algorithms to provide exceptional performance. Talos 2 SSDs deliver superior random transactional performance at up to 70,000 4K IOPS and features improved mixed workload (75% read; 25% write) performance with up to 42,000 8K IOPS.
PNY Technologies is considered a leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of memory upgrade modules launched the HP v112b tiny USB Flash Drive, adding a new USB Flash drive to its HP line-up the v112b, which is a tiny but elegantly designed drive. The drive comes in a shiny translucent sapphire blue casing with wavy design to help get a better grip. It comes with a cap, which also features the same wavy design, continuing the body design when closed. The design makes it water resistant, and it is also resistant to mechanical shocks. The COB packaging helps achieve such a small size.
A lanyard hold at the far end lets you tie it to a keychain, purse, belt, etc. Plug and play functionality lets you use the drive in Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7, and even on Mac OS 10.3 and above. Being a very tiny drive has its advantages, giving the drive ultra-portability. The small size and weight also makes it convenient to take it wherever you go to share your digital documents, pictures, video clips and music files.
