SanDisk has announced its new CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SATA SSD for cloud service provider and software-defined storage vendor environments in capacities up to 1.6TB. Designed for mixed-use, latency-sensitive transactional workloads, including e-commerce and collaborative online services, the CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II boasts 32,000 4K write IOPS with 530MB/sec throughput. Additionally, SanDisk quotes their drive with 80ms in random read write latency as well as 99.9 percent QoS.
SanDisk has announced its new CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SATA SSD for cloud service provider (CSP) and software-defined storage (SDS) vendor environments in capacities up to 1.6TB. Designed for mixed-use and latency-sensitive transactional workloads–including e-commerce and collaborative online services–the CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II boasts 32,000 4K write IOPS with 530MB/s in throughput. Additionally, SanDisk quotes their drive with 80ms in random read write latency as well as 99.9 percent QoS.
At just over $0.04 per IOPS, the CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II is certainly built with a focus on both value and performance, providing its users with an attractive price/performance ratio and excellent latency-sensitive workload performance. SanDisk also believes that this cloud elasticity allows the drive to meet today’s cloud-capacity standards all the while avoiding poor hardware resource utilization, wasted energy, and weak system- and software-level security.
In addition, the CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SSD comes with SanDisk’s innovative Guardian Technology Platform, which is a combination of efficient error correction and detection technology, full data path protection, and data fail recovery. SanDisk’s new SSD includes a limited five year warranty.
