Intel has introduced new series of Solid-State Drives (SSD), Intel SSD 910 Series to meet storage demands of data centres driven by cloud computing, virtualisation and online transactions.
The Intel SSD 910 Series offers improved storage performance providing better endurance and reliability which is critical to data centre performance applications
It features Intel High Endurance Technology and optimised multi-level cell (MLC) 25-nanometer NAND flash memory facilitating up to 10 full drive writes a day for 5 years compared to standard MLC-based flash products.
SSD 910 Series can be used in storage tiering and caching of hot files for high-performance processing and access to mission-critical data.
With high capacity, the One Intel 910 SSD can replace multiple 15K rpm hard disk drives (HDDs) saving space, power consumption as well as improve sequential performance and storage scalability and reduce latencies.
The new SSDs are built using an Intel controller and Intel SSD management firmware and the firmware is optimised for less wear and includes NAND error reduction and system error management.
The new release is available in 400GB and 800GB capacities.
Intel SSD 910 Series 800GB drive include 2 gigabytes-per-second (GB/s) sustained sequential reads and 1GB/s sequential writes; up to 180,000 4K random read Input-Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and 75,000 4K random write IOPS.
