Intel Announces New SATA Solid-State Drive for Data Centers
Intel is following up their consumer version 510 Series drives with the data center centric 710 Series. Filled with enterprise grade 25nm MLC NAND chosen specifically for their SLC like high-endurance and reliability, they offer 100GB, 200GB and 300GB capacities. Priced at $649 for the 100GB version, $1,289 for the 200GB, and $1,929 for 300GB, (all based on 1,000-unit quantities) they are well below the cost of SLC based drives but offer the same endurance and reliability.
Intel Corporation announced today its latest solid-state drive (SSD), the Intel Solid-State Drive 710 Series, a purpose-built Multi-Level Cell (MLC) data center SSD and replacement for the Intel X25-E Extreme SSD. While the Intel X25-E was based on more expensive but highly reliable Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash memory, the Intel SSD 710 uses compute-quality Intel 25-nanomenter (nm) MLC NAND flash memory with Intel High Endurance Technology (HET) to deliver the endurance and performance necessary for data center, financial services, embedded, Internet portal, search engine and other demanding storage and server applications, but at a greater value.
