Samsung launches new SSDs - Very Green and Fast
Earlier today Samsung announced its latest SSDs that are designed specifically for the enterprise server market. The storage devices use Samsung single-level-cell (SLC) technology and promise twice the read/write performance of Samsung's standard 32GB and 64GB SLC SSDs.
The Samsung Enterprise SSDs promise to be the greenest drives on the market needing only 1.25 watts of power in active more and 0.3 watts in idle mode. Power consumption is less than 25% of the power needed by a 2.5-inch 15k SAS HDD.
Samsung VP of memory marketing Jim Elliott said in a statement, "Our SSDs give IT managers the best in high-performance, high-endurance storage for servers, with markedly less energy consumption. Now being considered by virtually all major PC OEMs, the proven technology of enterprise SSDs provides a compelling combination of price, performance and longevity for many medium-sized businesses as well as large corporations."
Samsung says that the new SLC SSDs offer sequential read speeds of 100MB per second and write speeds of 80MB/s. Performance in IOPS per watt for the SSDs compared to normal 15K SAS HDDs is 100 times greater. The new SLC SSDs will be available worldwide starting this month.
Samsung already has 128GB multi-level-cell SSDs in mass production and on the market. The MLC SSD has read speeds of 90MB/s and write speeds of 70MB/s [via dailytech].
