1,6TB SCSI Flash
Here.
It was only September when BitMICRO made us want a pile of cash just so as to buy a 416GB 2.5-inch Altima solid state drive but now, the company has upped the stakes and has doubled storage space faster than OLPC can say - Get out of my house, Intel! The new 832 GB solid state drive is by far the biggest of its kind around and it utilizes multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash chips which double the number of bits stored per memory cell compared to the single-level cell (SLC) NAND.
Thanks to the EDSA and LUNETA controllers the new E-Disk Altima monster will be able to deliver sustained rates of up to 100 MB/s and up to 20,000 I/O operations per second while the SATA 3.0 Gbps interface will also make sure the drive has "hot pluggable" capabilities and all-round compatibility with today's hardware.
Fit nicely with IBM Kittyhawk Tflops racks.
