The 900 GB Gorilla
The World's Fastest Storage®: Sustained I/O rates up to 1,200,000 IOPS for reads or 440,000 IOPS for writes, and bandwidth up to 2.5 GB/second. (Speeds may vary depending on block size used and storage capacity.)
Next-Generation Series-7™ Product Family: RamSan Series-7 is the 7th generation of the RamSan product family, originating from the first RamSan in 2000. All Series-7 RamSan products deliver cost-effective performance and reliability.
PCIe Interface: The RamSan-70 is an internal SSD that uses the fast, ubiquitous PCIe Generation 2 x8 connection. PCIe connectivity can be a powerful feature for high-end workstations, smaller reporting database systems, and other environments where an internal solution is an advantage.
Small Form Factor: While many PCIe SSDs are built on full-length cards, the RamSan-70 uses a half-length card. This smaller form factor means that the RamSan-70 can be added to a wider range of servers.
Fault Tolerant Flash (FTF): The Flash used in the RamSan-70 is enterprise grade SLC Flash. The RamSan-70 includes on-board RAID protection to protect against chip failure. An advanced chip-level ECC provides multiple regions of bit correction per block.
Wear Leveling: The RamSan-70 includes wear-leveling technology that protects the underlying Flash media by spreading out writes and maximizing the write life of the system.
Completely Non-Volatile: Flash memory is inherently non-volatile, and onboard ultracapacitors keep RAM used for translation tables powered long enough for dumping data in the event of a power loss, so no time is wasted rebuilding tables when power goes down.
Scalable PCIe: The RamSan-70’s standard configuration includes 450 GB of Flash storage. However, a mezzanine card adds another 450 GB for a total of 900 GB of usable capacity in one standard half-length PCIe slot.
