Apacer Launches 2.5-Inch 512GB SSDs

Apacer
Technology
Inc.
introduced the SAFD 25A a SATA 3.0 SSD.

It is aims to optimize data storage
variables in cloud computing centers by providing speed within a
stable and power-saving operating environment.

This is a
high-end SSD targeted for cloud-based computing, based on high IOPs,
and a storage capacity of 512GB. By using the features of SSDs such
as anti-shock, anti-vibration, low-power consumption, and high-speed
data transmission, they expect to help enterprise servers improve
their data access constraints and, in doing so, take the place of
traditional HDD. It can be accomplished with cutting an amount of the
cooling cost, providing efficiency to create a reliable operating
environment.

The SAFD 25A SSD adopts the SATA 3.0 interface, achieving
twice the processing capacity of preceding SATA II interfaces. It
boasts a maximum sequential speed of 475/360 MB/s and IOPs of up to
50,000 making it as efficient as a RAID array consisting of 50 – 60
mechanical HDD. By utilizing this SSD to access data, enterprise
clients will have superior overall data processing capability and
save the floor space cost of data center, the company said.

Besides industrial SSDs with SLC
chips, the SAFD 25A series also offers a storage solution that adopts
MLC chips, the SAFD25A-M, presenting an option for clients with
budget concerns.

Samples
of new SAFD 25A and SAFD 25A-M units will be available for customers
to run tests on in the third quarter of 2012.
