Himfr.com reports SSD products, strong support for enterprise storage market

SSD (Solid State Disk or Solid State Drive) is also known as solid-state hard drive is to use flash memory storage component particles as a new generation of hard drives. SSD drives have a high speed, high security and other features, but has been expensive, limited capacity, hindered its wide application. However, as flash memory prices continued downward, SSD products are growing fast approaching the public's perspective, especially for business users, SSD value, particularly significant.

Solid-state drive superior performance

The field of solid-state drives used in servers of the biggest advantages is the excellent IO performance, which is a traditional hard drive the maximum affect server performance short board. DIY user testing has been done with the use of SSD products to install Vista, and 15 minutes to complete, while access to Vista from the boot to the system of time, in just a dozen seconds, SSD hard drive operation can be described as "amazing speed" . Server applications designed specifically for solid-state drives are faster, can reach 250MB per second read speed, write speed can reach 170MB per second, even 10000 or even switch to a traditional hard disk array is difficult to hold a candle to.

In the server application process, IO performance is a critical performance bottlenecks, such as the common web servers, database servers, as often required to respond to external data needs, the system's overall performance depends on the disk on a great performance, SSD on the network and database servers is essential. Currently, Google, Baidu and Alibaba have already announced the adoption of solid-state storage technology to cope with the growing traffic pressure, IBM, Sun, HP and other vendors, have also developed the use of solid-state drive products.

In addition, high-performance computing, blade server, if switched to solid-state hard drive, will allow the IO access within the system greatly widened, directly improve the overall performance of the system. No wonder the media and even expected, SSD will be the same as cloud computing slowly becoming industry standards.

In addition to high IO performance, solid-state hard drive also makes other advantages not put it down to its corporate customers. As the complete elimination of mechanical parts, SSD run-time is absolutely zero noise, room noise, use of solid-state hard drives will be much smaller than the traditional room. And because all uses no mechanical failure of electronic components and heat greatly reduced, when is installed in the 7 × 24 hours when the server is running, the reliability of solid-state drive mechanical hard disk can not match, or even power consumption will be greatly reduced. It is precisely because of these many benefits, SSD in the server applications have been many enterprises pro-gaze.
