Intel Corporation introduced today the Intel® Solid-State Drive
910 Series (Intel® SSD 910 Series), a super high-performing SSD to
address rigorous data center storage demands driven by cloud
computing, virtualization and online transactions.
The Intel SSD 910 Series delivers accelerated storage
performance, endurance and reliability critical to today’s data
center performance applications. It includes Intel High Endurance
Technology and optimized multi-level cell (MLC) 25-nanometer NAND
flash memory, that allows up to 10 full drive writes a day for 5
years, or a 30x endurance improvement* over its standard MLC-based
flash products, for a cost-effective storage solution.
The Intel SSD 910 is PCIe-based and offers an easy-to-install,
seamless post-deployment server storage upgrade that requires no
changes to existing server design. It can be used in storage
tiering and caching of hot files for high-performance processing
and access to mission-critical data. One Intel 910 SSD can replace
multiple 15K rpm hard disk drives (HDDs) to not only save on space
and power consumption, but also improve sequential performance and
storage scalability and reduce latencies. It is built using an
Intel controller and Intel SSD management firmware. The firmware is
optimized for less wear and includes NAND error reduction and
system error management.
“The Intel SSD 910 Series is a complete solution that delivers
on all fronts: high performance, endurance and reliability, making
it ideal for replacing I/O-intensive HDDs,” said Roger Peene,
director of data center SSD marketing for the Intel Non-Volatile
Memory Solutions Group. “As a leader in SSD technology, data center
IT professionals can have confidence in a tier-one, easy-to-install
SSD solution backed by Intel quality, reliability and technical
support.”
“Supermicro works closely with leading technology companies so
we can offer our customers Data Center Optimized (DCO) server
solutions with the highest performance and highest efficiency,”
said Tau Leng, general manager of High Performance Computing at
Super Micro Computer Inc. “With the Intel SSD 910, server systems
can achieve higher levels of CPU utilization to take advantage of
increased processing power from advanced products like the Intel®
Xeon® Processor E5-2600 Series. This is yet another example of
working with Intel to test and qualify products, so we can lower
our customers’ total cost of ownership and reduce their
time-to-market.”
The Intel SSD 910 Series expands Intel’s offerings for data
center applications with its first entry in the 900 family of its
highest-performing, PCIe-based SSDs. The Intel SSD 900 Family joins
Intel’s other high-volume SSD solutions for the data center
including the Intel 700 SSD Family of SATA-based SSDs with High
Endurance Technology and the Intel SSD 300 Family of SATA SSDs for
a broad range of server and storage applications.
Performance measures of the Intel SSD 910 Series 800GB drive
include 2 gigabytes-per-second (GB/s) sustained sequential reads
and 1GB/s sequential writes; up to 180,000 4K random read
Input-Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and 75,000 4K random
write IOPS. It comes in 400GB and 800GB capacities. Samples are now
available for data center customers to begin quality and validation
cycles. General production availability is scheduled for
mid-2012.
Pricing for the Intel SSD 910 Series is $1,929 for the 400GB
capacity and $3,859 for 800GB. It comes with a 5-year limited
warranty. See full warranty details at:
