Flash Memory Summit: Smart Modular Introducing Osmium Drive, 50TB 3.5-Inch SAS SSD

SMART Modular Technologies, a subsidiary of SMART Global Holdings, Inc., introduced the Osmium Drive.

The Osmium Drive is a high-capacity SAS SSDe in a 3.5 inch form-factor.

This MLC-based solid state drive can be integrated into current systems for cloud storage, big data, digital imaging, artificial intelligence computing and other data-intensive data center applications.

The Osmium Drive combines capacity and power efficiency unmatched by conventional HDDs, and is available in capacities of 25TB and 50TB.

With up to 50TB of flash in a single 3.5-inch SAS drive enclosure, the Osmium Drive offers over three times the capacity of most competing SSDs on the market while consuming one-eighth the power per terabyte compared to nearline HDDs.

The faster IO for the Osmium Drive also means utilization rates can be improved to 90% or greater, versus the typical 60% with HDDs, an increase of approximately 50%. With greater than 1.5 million hour MTBF and unlimited writes over a 5-year lifetime, the drive also offers greater reliability and endurance than typical nearline HDDs. It requires 65% fewer BTUs of cooling per terabyte than HDDs resulting in reduced HVAC costs.

We’re excited to offer an ultra-high-capacity SAS drive to the market,” states Mike McClimans, senior director, flash product line. “With the Osmium Drive, IT managers overseeing data centers have an option to migrate to a Flash drive that not only consumes less space per terabyte versus HDDs, but provides increased reliability and bandwidth, and extends the capacity limits of their current infrastructure.”

SMART Modular Technologies will be highlighting the Osmium Drive at the 2017 Flash Memory Summit, August 8-10 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
