pureSilicon is announcing the highest-density SSD available today—the 1TB Nitro Series. This represents a major advance for the storage industry since it combines maximum density with high performance and low power demand. Four of these drives deliver 4TB in the same space as a standard 3.5-inch HDD, so server footprint requirements and energy consumption can be reduced.
The 1TB Nitro SSD is also the most compact SSD per gigabyte: 15.40GB per cubic centimeter in a 2.5-inch form-factor—at least three times greater than any other SSD on the market. This high density in a small form-factor has been achieved through innovative engineering techniques coupled with advanced industrial design that yields an exceptionally thin enclosure.
This new line of high-performance solid-state drives is designed for applications where data throughput and power consumption are primary considerations: servers, communications, networking, enterprise computing and professional media applications that require fast transfer speeds and involve the storage of massive amounts of data. pureSilicon has benchmarked these drives at speeds approaching the maximum bus speed of SATA II (300 MB/s).
Key features and benefits of the Nitro Series SSD include:
- 1TB SSD in 2.5-inch form-factor (highest density ever).
- 100.2mm x 69.85mm x 9.5mm.
- 300MB/s SATA II interface.
- Industry-leading performance.
- State-of-the-art industrial design.
Also on display is the recently-announced Renegade Series SSD, the first SSDs to integrate hardware-based encryption approved by the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). The Renegade SSD is also compliant with MIL-STD-810F, a military standard that requires the SSD to sustain reliable operation during a series of rigorous tests that validate its ability to endure the extreme environments typically seen in industrial and military applications.
The pureSilicon Renegade SSD addresses the demands of the most challenging environments where heat, vibration, and humidity preclude the use of traditional hard disk drives or regular, ‘consumer-grade’ SSDs. A dedicated on-board cryptographic processor provides hardware-driven 256-bit AES encryption that delivers instantaneous encryption and decryption of data without degrading performance.
To protect the SSD from harsh physical environments, the Renegade features a hard-anodized unibody enclosure, carved from a single piece of aluminum. Other features include high capacity (densities up to 128GB), extreme temperature range components, high shock and vibration tolerances, ability to add conformal coating protection and enhanced security features.
Energy Efficient and Eco-Friendly
pureSilicon is committed to energy efficiency and develops storage products that yield high performance per watt. Whether the goal is to increase productivity in a mobile environment or reduce energy costs in a data center, deploying pureSilicon SSDs will help achieve successful results. Legacy storage products such as hard disk drives are becoming less energy-efficient as manufacturers strive for higher performance; SSDs offer superior performance scalability while achieving significantly lower energy consumption.
