OCZ Technology today unveiled its next generation Vertex 3
SATA III SSD product family, a lineup that caters to both
client and enterprise applications.
Harnessing the 6Gbps speed of the SATA III interface, the
new series delivers double the performance of the previous
generation.
The Vertex 3 is the first solution to feature the new
SandForce SF-2200 SSD processor, and raises the bar in
performance with up to 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write
transfer rates and up to 60,000 IOPS (4k random write).
"The new Vertex 3 solid state drive series builds on the
success of our previous two generations of products and
delivers exceptional performance by utilizing fast
synchronous mode 2Xnm MLC NAND flash technology," said Ryan
Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "These storage
solutions feature both the highest sequential speeds
available with a SATA 6GBps SSD and the highest IOPS of any
current 2.5 inch SSD on the market today, allowing us to
once again set the benchmark for industry leading SSD
performance and reliability."
Also included in the new series is the enterprise-class
Vertex 3 Pro which has been optimized to provide
reliability, security, and endurance. Featuring the premium
SF-2500 SSD SATA III processor, Vertex 3 Pro SSDs are aimed
at consumers clients seeking enterprise-grade MLC
(Multi-Level Cell) SSD storage for their server farms and
IT infrastructures.
The new Vertex 3 Series will be showcased at next week's
international CeBIT tradeshow in Hanover, Germany, and will
begin shipping following the event through OCZ's global
channel. Vertex 3 SSDs will be available in capacities of
120GB and 240GB, while the Pro edition comes in 100GB,
200GB, and 400GB models. The entire Vertex 3 line features
TRIM support to optimize performance over the drive's
lifespan and a 3 year warranty.
SandForce 2nd Generation SSD Processors
OCZ's latest SSDs are based on the (Solid State Drive)
Processors. SandForce has announced the availability of
its second-generation SF-2200 and SF-2100 SSD Processors
optimized for SSDs deployed in client computing
applications. The SF-2200 processors feature a 6
Gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) SATA host interface, a sustained
sequential read/write performance of up to 500 Megabytes
per second (MB/s), and DuraClass Technology. The SF-2100
processors feature a 3 Gb/s SATA host interface, read/write
performance up to 250 MB/s, and the same DuraClass
Technology. In addition to leading-edge performance, the
SF-2200 and SF-2100 Client products support ONFi2 and
Toggle flash interfaces in single-level & multi-level cell
(SLC & MLC) NAND flash families from all major suppliers.
The SF-2200 and SF-2100 SSDs feature the highly
sought-after SandForce DuraClass Technology including RAISE
and patented and patent-pending DuraWrite features to
deliver performance, endurance, reliability, and power
management. Additionally, SF-2200 and SF-2100 Client SSD
Processors feature:
- Support for 30nm- and 20nm-class NAND flash from all
flash vendors with Asynch/ONFi1/ONFi2/Toggle interfaces
with data transfer rates up to 166 Mega Transfers per
second
- Trusted Computing Group (TCG) OPAL security with 256-bit
AES encryption and automatic, line-rate double encryption
with a drive-level password
- Advanced ECC engine correcting up to 55 bits per 512-byte
sector to assure high data integrity and support for future
generations of flash memory
- Power and performance optimization and tuning features to
maximize mobile battery life
- Single-chip "DRAM-less" solution enabling compact and
flexible designs |
