Enterprise Saber 1000 6Gb SATA SSD From OCZ

OCZ Storage Solutions, a Toshiba Group company unveiled its latest storage solutions at the 2014 Intel Developer Forum (IDF), September 9-11 at Moscone West, San Francisco, CA.

New drives showcased include the upcoming Saber 1000 SATA III Series which is designed to deliver the best cost per gigabyte for hyperscale data center customers, and the Z-Drive 6000 2.5-inch PCIe 3.0 NVMe series that provides industry-leading IO/s per dollar.

OCZ has long been a supplier to customers in the hyperscale and cloud markets, and the new Saber 1000 SATA III SSD was conceptualized and designed with key input from customers within this space with an enterprise-optimized feature-set, high capacity, and excellent price point.

Because these massive scalable infrastructures require premium yet practical storage, Saber 1000 is designed to be a more cost-effective solution than traditional enterprise-grade SSDs, effectively eliminating I/O bottlenecks and maximizing storage efficiency to meet the evolving demands of the fast growing hyperscale and cloud computing markets. Based off the OCZ Barefoot 3 platform which delivers performance, it also provides data integrity with the addition of features like partial power fail protection and will also leverage the latest generation A19 NAND flash from Toshiba.

At the show, OCZ also unveiled the next generation Z-Drive 6000, which is a native PCIe 3.0 NVMe 1.1 solution in a 2.5-inch form factor. Not only will the Z-Drive 6000 deliver high performance, it also features the hot pluggable SFF-8639 connector that enables deployment-efficiency and service ability. Z-Drive 6000 will deliver the complete gamut of enterprise features including internal RAID to protect all flash data, power loss data protection, consistent low latency, and encryption.

This  solution for demanding enterprise-grade compute and storage applications will begin sampling to alpha customers before the end of the month.
