  • Page 23: Product Description

    ENERAL ESCRIPTION IOPS The Zeus 3.5-inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive (SSD) incorporates advanced Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash memory technology to deliver a state-of-the-art, non-volatile mass storage device. The interface is fully SCSI compliant and conforms to the same mechanical and mounting requirements as a standard rotating disk drive.

  • Page 24: Performance Characteristics

    ERFORMANCE NDURANCE The useful life of the flash media is limited by the number of write/erase operations that can be performed on the media. Typically, the write/erase cycles for flash media ranges between 100,000 and 300,000. To extend the life of the SSD, special Wear-Leveling and Bad-Block Mapping algorithms are integrated into the firmware, increasing the overall endurance rating of the drive to 2,000,000 Write/Erase cycles.

  • Page 25: Mount Time

    OUNT The amount of time required to initialize and mount a Zeus system (Windows®, Linux®, etc.) and the storage capacity of the drive. CCESS Unlike a magnetic rotating disk, the Zeus access time ranges from 20μsec to 120μsec. The actual access time may be affected by the operating system and the storage capacity of the drive.

  • Page 26: Erase Times

    RASE IMES IOPS The time required to erase a Zeus Erase utility will erase every physical memory storage location that can be accessed by the host interface. It will also destroy any saved messages. Once initiated, the SSD will be offline and the host will be unable to access the drive.

  • Page 27: Cache Operations

    ACHE PERATIONS IOPS The Zeus SSD is configured with 512 MB of cache. Write data can be flushed to the cache with the Synchronize Cache command. LUGGING IOPS The Zeus 3.5-inch Fibre Channel SSD can be inserted or removed from a loop during operation. This capability is known as “hot plugging”.
