Although the overall trend in enterprise storage is clearly moving toward smaller, faster 2.5-inch solid-state drives (SSDs), plenty of shops still use the older 3.5-inch variety. With its latest release, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies seems determined to keep supplying that market.
Hitachi said that its 3.5-inch Fibre Channel Ultrastar 400S single-level cell SSDs, co-developed with Intel, are shipping in Hewlett-Packard’s 3PAR F-Class, T-Class and the new P10000 V-Class storage systems for enterprise and cloud data centres.
The Ultrastar SSD400S line uses enterprise-grade NAND flash, Hitachi’s own proprietary endurance firmware and power-loss-management techniques, the company said. The drives also feature advanced data integrity technology based on industry standards to ensure compatibility in multi-tiered SSD/HDD system designs, the company said.
The drives deliver up to 41,000 read and 21,000 sustained-write I/O operations per second (IOPS) for fast access to hot enterprise data for improved productivity and operational efficiency.
Hitachi GST is currently shipping its Ultrastar SSD400S drives in volume. The product line features a five-year limited warranty.
