  • OCZ 1TB 3.5-inch SSD - Talos 6Gbps SAS Drive Preview

    OCZ has just released information on its new lineup of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSDs designed for enterprise or business applications named the Talos series. These SSDs feature high capacity storage and multi-level cell (MLC) NAND. This particular lineup expands OCZ's current lineup of SSDs by increasing the availability of its proprietary Virtualized Controller Architecture (VCA) technology to storage OEMs. The Talos series SAS SSDs deliver incredibly high performance with up to 64,000 4K random IOPS providing substantial transfer rates with superior performance and relatively low cost-savings. OCZ Talos lineup of SSDs are available in the typical 3.5-inch form factor and range from 200GB to 960GB. 2.5-inch form factors are to follow thereafter.




    "We have experienced considerable demand for our high-capacity VCA-enabled SAS products, both with and without enhanced power fail protection," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "The new OCZ Talos SSD series delivers the ultimate combination of performance, scalability, and reliability. Talos series drives are tailored to meet the needs of most enterprises in a non-customer specific format, including balanced compressed and incompressible data performance and balanced read/write IOPS, all in the highest capacity SAS 6Gbps drive available today."
