OCZ Enterprise 6Gb SATA SSDs Deneva 2 Using 19nm NAND Flash Process Geometry

OCZ Technology Group, Inc. announced an addition to the Deneva 2 Series which now utilizes 19nm NAND flash.

The new models are 2.5-inch, 6Gb SATA III-based MLC drives that implement the Deneva 2 SSD Series feature-set and are built around a smaller NAND flash process geometry. This solution also features a new power architecture that was designed to optimize server back plane functionality, providing enhanced management of in-rush current and power fluctuation. The result is a SSD series that delivers storage performance, enterprise endurance, reliability and quality, and TCO for customers.

“Our Deneva 2 has been a popular SSD series among IT professionals not only as an HDD replacement but to dramatically accelerate I/O access of such popular enterprise applications as OTP, database warehousing, read intensive data caching and server boot-ups,” said Daryl Lang, SVP of product management, OCZ. “By implementing new features and the latest NAND flash process geometry we are able to deliver an optimal balance of I/O performance and cost-efficiency to our customers.”

The new Deneva 2 SSDs continue to utilize the LSI SandForce SF-2281 processor and delivers performance with 19nm toggle mode NAND flash.  The performance specifications support read bandwidth up to 550MB/s, write bandwidth up to 520MB/s, random read throughput (4K blocks) over 45,000 IO/s (IO/s), and random write throughput (4K blocks) over 34,000 IO/s. It provides sustained performance over time so that users can achieve faster file transfers, boot-ups and benefit from a more responsive storage experience. With a priority on reliability and flash-optimized enterprise endurance, the new Deneva 2 includes features such as data fail recovery, intelligent block management, wear leveling and robust error correction. Additionally, power consumption has also been lowered in the new models as well.

The new Deneva 2 SSD Series are available in three models supporting 120GB capacity (Model D2CSTK251M3T-0120), 240GB capacity (Model D2CSTK251M3T-0240) and 480GB capacity (Model D2CSTK251M3T-0480).
