According to LSI benchmarks, the Nytro XP 6200 can deliver up to 185,000 IOPS read performance with an average latency of less than 120 microseconds. The XP 6200 uses a host offload management architecture to make performance and latency more consistent by assuming workloads that would otherwise require the host server’s CPU and memory resources. The Nytro XP 6200 is optimized for thermal and system-level power, with specified power consumption of less than one watt per 98GB of capacity.
Pricing and Availability
Production shipments of Nytro XP 6200 series cards are expected in December 2013. In five-unit minimum quantities, the Nytro XP-6209-4A1024 1TB MLC PCIe card will be priced at $2,899 and the Nytro XP-6210-4A2048 2TB MLC PCIe card will be priced at $4,999.
