400-Gbyte enterprise SSD features enhanced durability

The XceedIOPS SATA next-generation enterprise-class solid-state disk drive is offered with capacities of 25 to 400 Gbytes and either SLC or enterprise-grade multilevel cell (E-MLC) NAND technologies. The enterprise-grade MLC flash provides a big endurance improvement, with 20,000 P/E cycles, whereas current-generation commercial MLCs specify 1,500 or 5,000 P/E cycles. 

The drive features an advanced SF-1500 processor from SandForce that yields up to 30-KIO/s random read/write, and 250-Mbyte/s sustained read/write speeds. The drive uses SATA 2.6, with NCQ, is available in 1.8- and 2.5-in. form factors, and takes 2.3 W during read/write and 0.6 W in idle. (Ea/OEM qty: 50-Gbyte E-MLC, $400; 200-Gbyte E-MLC, $1,300 — samples available now; prod qty, 2nd qtr.)
