Seagate ships Pulsar XT.2 to Distribution Channel
Seagate has begun the distribution channel shipments of the Pulsar XT.2 solid-state drive (SSD) that combines consistent performance with the data integrity and drive endurance needed for the most demanding enterprise environments, and is on track to commence channel shipments of the Pulsar.2 SSD. The 2.5-inch SSD with up to 400GB of capacity is optimized for complex, mixed workloads typical of enterprise environments such as online transaction processing (OLTP), database or web indexing, and email.
The Pulsar.2 SSD has been designed specifically for data centers, unlike typical MLC SSDs built for consumer applications, which lack the robust data integrity and reliability required for enterprise applications. The drive, featuring up to 800GB of capacity, automatically detects and corrects any number of data errors that could otherwise plague normal drive operations, delivering the price/performance, data integrity, and endurance needed for performance-hungry enterprise applications. The Pulsar.2 SSD supports both native 6 GB/s SAS and Serial ATA (SATA) 6 GB/s interfaces for primary and secondary server storage.
"Most SSD suppliers are not fully aware of the needs of the enterprise," said Jim Handy of Objective Analysis. "It is not just a fast interface like SAS, Fibre Channel, or PCIe that they need, and it is not just IOPS levels in the tens to hundreds of thousands. Without data integrity and reliability, an SSD is worthless to most enterprise users. Seagate's undeniable leadership in the enterprise HDD market has given the company a deep understanding of the necessity of data integrity and endurance."
