The ‘world’s fastest’ SSD
1 min read
Diamond Point International describes its ioDrive Duo as the world's fastest server based solid state storage solution.
The ioDrive Duo has been designed to allow application, database and system administrators to get strong levels of performance, protection and capacity from a single server. Performance for multiple ioDrive Duos scales linearly, allowing any enterprise to scale performance to 6GB/s of read bandwidth and over 500,000 read IOPS by using four ioDrive Duos.
Based on PCI Express x8 or PCI Express 2.0 x4 standards, which can sustain up to 20GB/s of raw throughput, the ioDrive Duo has enough bandwidth to obtain high performance from a single card. According to Diamond Point, the ioDrive Duo can sustain 1.5GB/s of read bandwidth and nearly 200,000 read IOPS. It has a sustained read bandwidth of 1500MB/s (32k packet size) and a sustained write bandwidth of 1400MB/s (32k packet size). Other features include multi-bit error detection and correction; patent pending Flashback protection and optional RAID-1 mirroring between two ioMemory modules on the same ioDrive Duo.
Diamond Point's managing director, John Vaines, said: "Many database and system administrators are finding their IT infrastructure is too expensive and doesn't meet performance, protection and capacity utilisation expectations. This is why more and more application vendors are moving toward application-centric solid state storage. The ioDrive Duo offers the advantages of application-centric storage without application-specific programming."
