Anobit announced its second-generation enterprise SSD’s today. The new drives use MLC instead of SLC NAND chips, but Anobit claims that with its MSP, or Memory Signal Processing, technology that they can achieve 50,000 erase/write cycles. The 2.5” 6Gb/s SATA 3 and SAS 2.0 drives have a 510MB/s read and write speed, and will be offered in 100GB, 200GB, and 400GB sizes today, with 800GB and larger drives planned for the future.
