Intel Unveils Its First Solid-State SATA Storage Drives (
Page 1 of 3 ) Intel has been putting a great deal of R&D into developing flash memory SSDs that will withstand the rigors of 24/7 data center server usage, heavy-duty client/server desktop and laptop use, and embedded applications. Intel is convinced that it has added enough storage capacityup to 160GBon these SSDs to more than handle enterprise duty.SAN FRANCISCOIntel has been
developing solid-state flash memory processors for as long as flash has been
around, which is about 20 years. But only on Aug. 19 at the Intel
Developer Forum here did the world's largest chip maker announce its
first-ever flash-based SATA drives for data storage.
Intel's High-Performance SATA (Serial ATA) solid-state drives are data storage
devices that use flash-based memory to store a computer's data, emulatingand even
replacinghard
drives in some computers.
NAND flash memory, which has much faster read/write performance than
conventional disk drives, originated with Toshiba in the mid-1980s and forms
the core of the removable USB storage
devices known as USB flash drives, as well
as most memory card formats now available. Apple's iPod and iPhone are two of
the most currently successful commercial usages of NAND flash.
Flash SSDs are slowly beginning to move into the enterprise data center market,
led by EMC, which started shipping
flash drives as options for its high-end Symmetrix storage system arrays in
March.
But industry analysts are generally in agreement that it is far too early to
tell how well these pioneering heavy-duty SSDs will hold up over time in
often-punishing 24/7 production environments.
