The M3S Series is available in three capacities: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.  The M3S delivers sequential read/write speeds of up to 525/445 MB/s and random read/write speeds of up to 70,000/65,000 IOPS.

The M3S features exclusive firmware with True Speed technology, including Plextor’s proprietary Bad Block Management, Global Wear Leveling, and Instant Restore technologies that optimize performance.  True Speed is designed to prevent drastic drops in read/write speeds that normally occur with SSDs after prolonged use or when data becomes heavily fragmented.  True Speed technology will maintain the M3S’ high performance and read/write speeds at like-new levels throughout the life of the drive.

Fusion-io today announced the 10 TB ioDrive Octal, delivering up to 20 TB of flash-based acceleration in a 1U server, such as the Supermicro SuperServer 6016GT-TF. The 10 TB ioDrive Octal features double the ioMemory capacity and density, integrating eight 1.28 TB MLC ioMemory modules in a single double-wide PCIe device, to deliver increased capacity in the small footprint.

“The 10 TB ioDrive Octal packs increased raw flash capacity in a server, enabling customers to accelerate even very large data sets with an intelligent and efficient ioMemory solution,” said David Flynn, Fusion-io Chairman and CEO. “Previously, a 4U server could contain 10 ioDrive Duos for 20 TB of total capacity, but now up to four 10 TB ioDrive Octals can be integrated into a 4U server, such as the HP ProLiant DL585 G7, delivering 40 TB of total capacity. We believe that with the 10 TB ioDrive Octal, even highly data-intensive organizations can house increased amounts of data directly within the server to simultaneously accelerate their business and the efficiency of their data center.”

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced the USB 3.0 Express ST4, a USB 3.0 flash drive with 4 channels of flash and impressive performance.

Super Talent is known for providing the fastest USB 3.0 flash drives available today. Many of our record holding designs are based on SSD controllers which offer extreme performance but at a substantial cost. Unlike SSD based flash drives that must be converted to USB using an additional bridge chip, native USB 3.0 drives use a single controller enabling designs to be smaller and less expensive.

Native USB 3.0 solutions are becoming more prevalent in the market and the Express ST4 marks our first native controlled 4-channel USB 3.0 product. With 4 channels of flash, the Express ST4 enables higher speeds, larger capacity points and of course more performance than its two channel counterparts.

virident_flashmax_scm.jpgVirident Systems today announced the release of Virident FlashMAX™ MLC, a PCIe storage class memory (SCM) solution that offers enterprises unconditional performance and the industry’s highest storage capacity at 1.4 TB in a low-profile form factor. This broadens the Virident product portfolio to address the growing needs of enterprises for high-performance, high-capacity flash storage solutions in their data centers. The Virident FlashMAX, tightly integrated with its innovative software technology vFAS™ (Flash management with Adaptive Scheduling), delivers over 1.4 Million IOPS from a single PCIe device, an industry first. In addition, FlashMAX performance remains predictable and consistent over time, across a wide variety of dataset sizes and under diverse workloads, while providing at least twice the performance of comparable flash-based solutions. Built-in flash-aware RAID ensures the highest enterprise-class reliability and data availability.

Virident vFAS now includes a data sanitization feature that allows enterprises, especially in the government and federal sector, to remove sensitive or classified data from Virident FlashMAX products in a secure manner. With this feature, FlashMAX complies with NIST and DOD standards for data sanitization at both the Clear and Purge level for NAND flash media.
