Recent Viking milestones from SSD Market History

  • In February 2009 - Viking Modular Solutions launched the ArxCis-NV - an SSD based backup for RAID controller cache. When the external logic power rail drops - internal Supercapacitors sustain power inside the module long enough (typically 10 to 15 seconds) to save the cache contents to an SLC SSD.

    In March 2009 - Viking Modular Solutions launched the SATA Cube - a flash SSD which provides upto 256GB capacity in a small 30x32mm footprint. Sustained R/W speeds are 110MB/s and 79MB/s respectively. It's available as a BGA device or with a MicroSATA connector.

    In January 2010 - Viking Modular Solutions announced it is sampling a range of SAS and SATA compatible SSDs using controllers from SandForce. Form factors will include:- 1.8", 2.5" and innovative “non-HDD-like” solutions for space constrained and/or rugged applications.

There are hundreds of articles about SSDs on StorageSearch.com
Here, below, are some examples.
  • RAM Cache Ratios in flash SSDs - it's important to know the underlying RAM cache architecture - even if you're happy with the R/W and IOPS performance.
  • the Problem with Write IOPS - in flash SSDs - long established as a useful performance modeling metric - this article explains why some specs are exaggerated when applied to flash SSDs - or predict the wrong results for many common applications.
