Western Digital has unveiled new additions to its
range of SSD storage announcing the imminent availability of two new 96-Layer
3D Flash drives the Ultrastar DC SN640 and Ultrastar DC SN340. The The
Ultrastar DC SN340 Gen3 x4 PCIe SSD storage drive has been optimised for power
efficiency and emits a low heat signature consuming less than 7W at full
performance, providing a great solution for read intensive workloads.
While the
Ultrastar DC SN640 is built on a “proven architecture where cloud, enterprise,
OEM, and channel partners can expect streamlined qualifications, and broad OS
and hardware certifications for improving time-to-market designs” says WD.
The new range of Western Digital SSD drives are
available in three different form factors :
- EDSFF E1.L with up to 30.72TB, designed to provide blazing speeds up to 720K random-read IOPS. This game-changing form factor is ideal for designing best petabyte/rack for new dense data-center designs.
- U.2 7mm with up to 7.68TB, a popular form factor for storage servers, virtualized environments, and containerized applications using denser, power-efficient blade systems.
- M.2 22×110 with up to 3.84TB for constrained spaces and OCP-compliant hardware.
