STEC's MACH8IOPS Solid State Drive is revolutionizing the storage world by delivering to the users the ultimate level of reliability and performance in a fully integrated device.
At the heart of the MACH8 Solid State Drive there is STEC's leading edge controller able to address multiple flash chips simultaneously to achieve 10,000 random read IOPS and over 1,500 random write IOPS. Meanwhile this ultimate solid state drive can still achieve up to 100MB/s large block sequential transfers.
The MACH8IOPS product also incorporates the revolutionary and enterprise necessary full data path protection, STEC's proprietary set of algorithms capable of protecting data anywhere in the path from HOST to Flash for the ultimate in data loss prevention. To complete the most complete enterprise ready drive, the MACH8IOPS solid state drive even prevents data loss during unexpected power loss to the system.
When it comes to time, there is no one more valuable resource to an IT Manager for process data in their systems. With the MACH8IOPS drives we have seen some great success from our customers.
One example of such great success comes from a customer that needed to route traffic. Imagine that you are stuck in traffic due to an accident that occurred hours before, but due to the inability to provide alternative routes more efficiently you are still waiting your turn. With a MACH8IOPS based upgrade, the end user was able to reduce the processing time for light timing, road sign indicators, and auto route changes by more than 80%.
Imaging what the MACH8IOPS drives could do for your infrastructure. From being the heartbeat of your Exchange server, your SQL database, or your transaction heavy applications, there is one clear choice in Solid State Drives, the STEC solution.
• Industry leading Solid State Disk
• Patented Full Data Path Protection
• Low power consumption
• Drop-in replacement for traditional 2.5” drive
• Support Serial ATA Interface
• Sustainable Sequential Read and Write speed up to 100MB/s
• Random performance that excels at any workload
• Commercial Operating Temperature: 0 to 60C
No matter how you measure performance, the MACH8 Solid State Drive will outperform the expectations. The MACH8 Solid State Drive can achieve up to 100MB/s sustainable sequential read and write speed.
Any data that is transferred to the drive is protected via a powerful Error Correction mechanism. For the first time in the industry, the Error Correction is also applied to the cache memory and to the spare area of the flash, the critical area that stores the mapping information. The MTBF of the MACH8 Solid State Drive is 2,800,000 hours, twice as much as the best-in-class HDD. The non-recoverable error rate is less than 1 error per 1020 bits read.
The MACH8 Solid State Drive employs both hardware and software mechanisms to prevent data loss in case of power fluctuation or power loss. The hardware protection prolongs power long enough to transfer all the data from the cache to the non-volatile memory. The software protection assures data integrity by verifying that valid data are not overwritten by corrupted data.
Given that there are no moving parts and thanks to the optimized sub-system design, the MACH8 Solid State Drive can withstand extreme environmental conditions. The drive will survive Random Vibrations up to 16.3G and Operating Shocks up to 1,500G. Relative humidity can ranges from 5% up to 95% and altitude goes from 1,000ft (-304.80m) up to 80,000ft (24,384m).
MACH8 Solid State Drive consumes only 2.1W in operating mode, roughly half of high-end rotating HDD. The same consideration applies for the idle state, with MACH8 consuming only 550mA.
The MACH8 Solid State Drive supports the S.M.A.R.T. feature (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology). The S.M.A.R.T. feature set protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and calibration parameters. No unscheduled down-time is drastically reducing the total cost of ownership.
STEC provides complete Bill of Material control to assure to our customers that any product delivered matches completely the specification. STEC also offers value-added services like customized form factors, testing, custom firmware, software imaging, customer-specific labeling and serialization.
