With Host Managed SSD technology
OCZ Storage Solutions, which is now a Toshiba Group company, has announced its new Saber 1000 Series SSDs that will be first SSDs with support for the new Host Managed SSD (HMS) technology.
The new Host Managed SSD (HMS) technology enables Host controls over internal SSD background processing tasks that were previously not exposed to host-level software. System-level software control of background processing tasks, such as Garbage Collaction, should enable overall storage performance and specifically enable obtaining consistent and predictable latency across a large pool of SSDs.
Aimed at Hyperscale, Cloud, and datacenter clients now run software defined storage application which manage large pools of SSDs across multiple servers and consistent performance of these SSDs has become critical for many modern applications including data bases and online trading, that have recently moved to the Cloud. By exposing HMS functions via API, OCZ has allowed the integration of HMS functions into the storage stacks.
The new HMS-enabled Saber 1000 series SSDs are managed by software APIs to provide control over the HMS functions inside the Saber 1000 SSD. OCZ also made a reference design and demonstration platform which shows the functionality of Saber HMS and enables benchmarking of the HMS system performance in real time as well as a software library and a Programmer's Guide which makes it easy to integrate HMS into storage stacks or software defined storage applications.
The Saber 1000 SATA series is OCZ's first product with support for HMS and will be available in 480GB and 960GB capacities and standard 2.5-inch 7mm-thick form-factor.
Based on OCZ's well-known Barefoot 3 M00 controller and A19nm MLC NAND, the new Saber 1000 HMS SATA series will offer sequential performance of up to 550MB/s read and 475MB/s write with random 4K performance of up to 90,000 IOPS read and 22,000 IOPS write. It also features a endurance rating of 0.4 Drive Writes per Day (DWPD) and MTBF of 2 million hours.
OCZ was quite keen to note that the HMS could be viewed as the next evolution in storage systems design by offering the consistent performance datacenters require, at a price point that enables superior ROI.
