Super Talent Designed 2TB PCIe RAID-5 SSD

Super Talent Technology announced its patented RAIDDrive, which dramatically increases the performance and slot capacity of PCI Express-based storage solution. The new RAIDDrive is a server-based solid-state storage solution, and an extension of its patented technology from the RAIDSSD product lines.

RAIDDrives support up to 2 TB of MLC or SLC Nand Flash memories, have a turbocharged DRAM Cache, and the RAIDDrive ES is fully battery backed to protect data in the event of power loss. The RAIDDrives connect through a PCIe Gen. 2.0 x8 interface and are capable of delivering sequential read speeds of up to 1.2GB/s, sequential write speeds of up to 1.3GB/s. More performance details will be unveiled in June. As an optional feature users will be able to configure the drives with an internal RAID-5 capability to deliver an extra level of data protection for mission critical applications.

Super Talent is releasing three families of RAIDDrives
with features optimized for different market segments:

• RAIDDrive ES – Enterprise Servers performing compute intensive applications such as database transaction processing, business intelligence, and virtualization.
• RAIDDrive WS – Workstation users performing tasks including animation, video editing, oil and gas exploration, CAD/EDA simulation, and scientific computing,
• RAIDDrive GS – Gamers looking to supercharge their IO Subsystem

Super Talent has been pioneering the development of RAIDed SSDs with multiple patents granted since 2003 and has been shipping SSDs with internal RAID structures in the RAIDSSD product lines for many years.

Super Talent’s existing, RAIDSSD product lines utilizing Super Talent’s unique patented RAID structure consist of:
