Editor's comments:- when planning business changes -
the softer side (getting the people part right) often doesn't get as much
attention as the harder aspects (technology, investments, infrastructure.)
Using
SSDs for enterprise
acceleration works best - when brainpower is working in tandem with the
technology.

TAIPEI,
Taiwan - May 26, 2008 - Samsung today unveiled plans to sample the
fastest 2.5" SATA SSDs in September.
The 256GB MLC flash
design will have a sequential read speed of 200MB/s and sequential write speed

available in Q4.

Editor's
comments:- if such a device were shipping in volume today it would be the
fastest 2.5" SSD. But I doubt if it will actually be the
fastest one that's
available in Q408 (in 6 months time).

sudden power loss |
Why should you care
what happens in an SSD when the power goes down?
This important design
feature - which barely rates a mention in most SSD datasheets and press releases
- has a strong impact on
SSD data integrity
and operational
reliability.
This article will help you understand why some
SSDs which (work perfectly well in one type of application) might fail in
others... even when the changes in the operational environment appear to be
negligible. |
