SMART Storage Systems has announced a new lineup of Optimus Ultra+ MLC-based SSDs. According to SMART, these SSDs can achieve 50 drive writes per day with MLC flash to better compete with more expensive SLC flash for write-intensive storage applications. The Optimus Ultra+ leverages the Guardian Technology Platform, SMART Storage System’s proprietary suite of features and endurance enhancement.
