OCZ Introduces New Saber 1000 Series SATA SSDs For Enterprises
Toshiba's OCZ Storage Solutions today announced its new enterprise-class Saber 1000 SSD Series designed for read-intensive applications targeting high-volume deployment hyperscale, web-hosting and distributed computing environments. The SATA-based Saber 1000 Series is based on the latest A19nm NAND flash from Toshiba and is available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities. It utilizes OCZ?s internally developed Barefoot 3 controller and firmware.
In a steady state condition by which the Saber 1000 Series 960GB drive is writing, erasing and re-writing data repeatedly over its full capacity, performance figures for both large block sequential operations, as well as small block random operations include:
- 550 MB/s for sequential reads (128KB blocks)
- 470 MB/s for sequential writes (128KB blocks)
- 98,000 IOPS for random reads (4KB blocks)
- 20,000 IOPS for random writes (4KB blocks)
The SSDs consume just 3.7 watts of power in an active state. n the event of a sudden power loss, the Saber 1000 Series uses a technique referred to as Power Failure Management Plus (PFM+) which holds up the SSD circuitry long enough to ensure the integrity of the device so that it can be fully operational again once power is restored. To achieve this, each Saber 1000 SSD uses an internal 16 Byte PFM+ log that describes a single action performed on the NAND and this log contains only the essential data needed to rescue the SSD from metadata corruption.
Monitoring and management offered through OCZ?s StoragePeak 1000 SSD Management System that enables IT managers to centrally monitor and administer connected Saber 1000 SSDs and other OCZ enterprise class solution resources from a web-based management interface. This network-accessible management system connects to multiple hosts (running Linux or Windows operating systems) providing a cross-platform view of the OCZ SSDs connected to servers, storage arrays or appliances, and includes a user configurable alerting systems that enables IT corrective actions to be initiated at an early stage.
