OCZ Launches Vertex 2 Pro and Vertex 2 EX SSDs – Sandforce 1500
OCZ Technology Group unveiled the Vertex 2 Pro and Vertex 2 EX Solid State Drive (SSD) Series this afternoon. These are both high-performance 2.5 inch storage solutions designed for enterprise applications. The Vertex 2 Pro features transfer rates up to 285MB/s read, 275MB/s write, and 4KB random writes up to 50,000 Input/Output per second (IOPS). This is an interesting press release as OCZ cancled the Vertex 2 Pro a number of months ago! It looks like they changed their mind!
Built with the latest SandForce SF-1500 SSD processors, the Vertex 2 Pro/EX series of SSDs addresses the limitations of NAND flash memory in I/O-intensive environments and maximizes endurance and reliability. As a viable enterprise-grade, Multi-Level Cell (MLC) solution, Vertex 2 Pro features transfer rates up to 285MB/s read, 275MB/s write, and 4KB random writes up to 50,000 Input/Output per second (IOPS). Ideal for rigorous applications and workloads, the Vertex 2 EX uses Single-Level Cell (SLC) memory, which has ten times the program/erase (P/E) cycles with the same enhanced performance as the Pro edition. Additionally, a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) version will be made available to clients making use of the interface in their storage infrastructures.
