HP to Introduce 6Gbit/s Enterprise SSD

"SSD technology is still rapidly evolving. HP hopes to introduce its first Enterprise class SAS SSDs in 2010. These drives will be engineered for unconstrained read and write workloads and 100 per cent duty cycles. This will match the basic reliability characteristics of Enterprise class disk drives while providing the I/O performance advantages of SSDs. HP may also introduce server SSDs based on multi-level cell NAND flash memory. These products will provide a solution for application environments that need higher capacity SSDs, but do not require support for unconstrained IO workloads."
