Highest performing MLC-based 2.5-inch NVMe SSD
OCZ has introduced its latest Z-Drive 6000 PCIe solid state drive series which uses PCI-Express and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) interface to provide higher performance on an MLC-based 2.5-inch solid state drive.
Based on 16-channel NAND flash controller and supporting PCIe Gen. 3.0 x4 interface, the new OCZ Z-Drive 6000 series will offer sustained IOPS performance of over 160,000 IOPS for 4K write blocks and low-latency of between 25 and 30 ?s. To be available in capacities reaching 3.2TB for Z-Drive 6000 SFF models and up to 6.4TB for Z-Drive 6300 SFF models, the two new versions are aimed at different read-intensive and mixed workloads.
Both the Z-Drive 6000 SFF and the Z-Drive 6300 SFF series uses Toshiba's A19nm MLC NAND and feature NVMe 1.1b Gen 3 x4 interface, are hot-swappable, based on standard 2.5-inch 15mm thick form-factor and have endurance rating of 5 years and 2 million hour of MTBF.
The rest of the specifications and features include temperature sensing and thermal throttling to maintaining consistent operating conditions, user selectable power envelopes (15W, 20W and 25W), highly serviceable and innovative ‘flow-through’ design for enhanced cooling as well as the edge card support in Half-Height/Half-Length (HHHL) MD2 form factor for blade server platforms and 1U rack-mounted systems.
As you can see from the specification list below, the Z-Drive 6000 SFF series is available in 800GB, 1.6TB and 3.2TB capacities while the Z-Drive 6300 SFF series is available in 800GB, 1.6TB, 3.2TB and 6.4TB capacities. The Z-Drive 6000 SFF series sequential performance peaks at up to 2,900MB/s for read and up to 1,900MB/s for write with random performance of up to 700K IOPS for read and 160K IOPS for write.
Aimed at mixed workloads, the Z-Drive 6300 SFF series has sequential performance peaking at up to 2,900MB/s for read and up to 1,400MB/s for write with random performance at up to 700K IOPS for read and up to 120K IOPS for write.
The aforementioned 6.4TB Z-Drive 6300 SFF series is expected later this year while the Z-Drive 6300 AIC series, with support for Half-Height/Half-Length (HHHL) add-in card form factors and usable capacities of 800GB, 1.6TB, 3.2TB and 6.4TB is expected in the second half of the year.
OCZ has also announced that it is currently sampling its NVMe-compliant Z-Drive 6000 and Z-Drive 6300 SFF models to key customers and partners.
