2 Hard Disk Drives (HDD)- Life in the slow lane Originally released in 1956, its design remains relatively unchanged With recent performance gains in processors and memory, the HDD is slowest device in the system A new technology has emerged to help bridge this performance gap Kingston views SSD s as a performance upgrade not a storage solution

3 CPU to HDD performance gap CPU performance is outdistancing disk drive rotational speeds HDD gains in storage capacity are phenomenal but very flat in performance Results in unbalanced systems that are waiting for data

11 SSDNow Endurance E Series drives utilize SLC Flash Best for worst-case server use cases Up to 1.8TB/day in 100% 4KB Random writes for 3 years M, V+, and V Series drives utilize MLC Flash Up to 20GB in mixed Random/Sequential writes per business day for 3 years Write less? Then the SSD will last longer Toshiba internal study*: Power Users Typical Users If an SSD wears out, it becomes Read-Only * Source: Intel, Toshiba

12 Usage Models SSDNow M, V+, V Series (MLC) Target Platforms: Desktops, Notebooks Target HDD Upgrade SATA 3Gb/s, 1.5Gb/s Installed Base System Lifecycle Extension Software-Encrypted Systems Power User or Decision-Maker Notebooks Loaner Pool Notebooks Field-based or Commuting Notebooks System Productivity Enhancement

13 Traditional Solution For Enterprise Storage Stack HDD after HDD after HDD after HDD after HDD until desired performance (IOPs) is achieved. In this example 100 SAS HDD s will yield approximately 35K Read IOPS 100 Drives 35,000 IOPS A single Kingston E class SSD equals the IOPS of 100 SAS HDDs

14 SSD-Accelerated Server/SAN Architecture Application Working Set Files Tier 0 Storage (RAIDable) Transaction files Index files Temporary Databases Frequently accessed tables Temp/Cache/Swap files User Data (Mass Storage) Accelerate many enterprise applications by caching working set files or large objects. SSDs can be RAIDed for fault-tolerance and ultra performance.
