OCZ Introduces New Deneva 2 Series Enterprise SSDs

OCZ Technology today announced the latest addition to the Deneva 2 Series which now utilizes 19 nanometer (nm) NAND flash. The new models are 2.5-inch, 6 Gbps SATA III-based Multi-Level Cell (MLC) drives that implement the Deneva 2 SSD Series feature-set and are built around a smaller NAND flash process geometry. This drive solution also features a new power architecture that was designed from the ground up to optimize server back plane functionality.

The new Deneva 2 SSDs continue to utilize the LSI SandForce SF-2281 processor and delivers performance specifications including a read bandwidth up to 550 MB/s, a write bandwidth up to 520 MB/s, random read throughput (4K blocks) over 45,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS), and random write throughput (4K blocks) over 34,000 IOPS. The new Deneva 2 also includes features such as data fail recovery, intelligent block management, wear leveling and error correction. Additionally, power consumption has also been lowered in the new models as well.

The new Deneva 2 SSD Series are now available in three models supporting 120 GB capacity (Model D2CSTK251M3T-0120), 240 GB capacity (Model D2CSTK251M3T-0240) and 480 GB capacity (Model D2CSTK251M3T-0480).
