Sandisk Announces Six Lightning 6Gb SAS Solid State Drives For Enterprise Users
SanDisk today expanded its Lightning Enterprise Flash Drive (EFD) family with six new 2.5-inch 6Gb SAS models! The Lightning products are part of the new Enterprise Storage Solutions (ESS) division that SanDisk created keep up with the demand of the cloud and enterprise IT markets. SanDisk Lightning products are available in a 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch standard form factor with capacities ranging from 100GB to 800GB. The new drives will be available in Q3, 2011 and they have not announced pricing yet.
The six new SanDisk Lightning 6Gb SAS EFDs provide IT managers and OEMs with new levels of system design flexibility. The SLC- and MLC-based models feature a new Single Firmware Binary technology that reduces customer qualification time and speeds time-to-market. These models feature Write Through Logging (WTL) technology, a superior solution that delivers high performance at low queue depths to avoid volatility that would otherwise require battery back-up or supercapacitors for protection. WTL operation is completely transparent to the host and maintains a predictable performance profile across different workloads.
