Matador III, Third PCIe SSD by InnoDisk

InnoDisk Corp. just has merged and acquired Actica, a USA-based server DRAM vendor last month.

With this acquisition, InnoDisk extends its tentacles to server storage and launches the server storage solution series Actica, including ECC Registered DIMM within high performance and which is developed especially for server applications. PCIeDOM and SATADOM D150QV-L which are suitable for low profile server, such as 1U, and deliver excellent data transfer rate; E-class which are designed as enterprise SSD; and also Matador III, the PCIe SSD within high speed and high density. Actica Server Storage Solution, designed for server applications, offers both DRAM and Flash products.

Actica ECC RDIMM is designed according to JEDEC standard to ensure the compatibility and reliability of DRAM, which supports bandwidth up to 1.3Gbps and which is built-in thermal sensor to benefit module temperature management and to prevent overheating. Actica ECC RDIMM each single DRAM can support up to 16GB. To take the the enterprise level of Intel Xeon 7500 series as an example, the total memory can boost up to 2 TB in an 8 socket system. Beneficially, with low power consumption, Actica ECC RDIMM is for high performance computing (HPC), cloud computing and data center application.

Matador III is the third PCIe SSD by InnoDisk, and it supports up to 1TB (MLC: 1TB, SLC: 512GB) and the read/write performance is up to 1.2GB/sec and 1GB/sec. Targeting server storage applications, Matador, designed within LSI RAID controller, LSISAS2008, benefits the server system operate more efficiently by its high speed transfer rate, high density and low power consumption.

E-Class SSD (enterprise SSD) is designed within eMLC ICs and offers two interfaces: SAS and SATA. According to eMLC’s program/erase cycle is more than that of normal MLC, E-Class SSD brings longer lifespan and reliability. Moreover, with wider bandwidth, being able to connect with more devices and duplex supported, all the benefits, make SAS is generally applied into enterprise applications. By the continuous fine-tuning, E-Class, within InnoDisk own developed firmware, has improved its write performance from 30MB/s to 100MB/s.

PCIeDOM II is with PCI Express Gen. 2×1 disk on module and is designed for low-profile server which can avoid mechanical interference. Benefits from patented design, just plug and play, PCIeDOM is a product which has overthrown the limitation of PCIe connector layout on mother board from several decades ago. Additionally, PCIeDOM II brings high transfer rate, IOPS up to 10,000. Similarly, SATADOM D150QV-L is another masterpiece for low profile server thanks to its compact size and low power consumption. Benefits from own developed firmware and controller IC ID 101, InnoDisk D150 SATA module is able to enhance the reliability and stability of the disk.
