Samsung’s SLC SSDs - For Enterprise Servers And PCs

Samsung has started mass-producing 2.5″ SSDs for “performance-optimized server applications such as video on demand, web serving and on-line transaction processing. Samsung’s latest SSDs 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 new SLC SSDs offer sequential read speeds of 100MB per second and write speeds of 80MB/s. 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 and 100 times greater input/output operations per second (IOPS) rates than typical 2.5″ 15,000-RPM hard drives. Samsung sounds confident its new products can keep up with high-speed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) mechanical hard drives, too.

Samsung 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.
