Ridata announces three new “low-cost” SSDs
Ridata announced three new SSDs today (Ultra-S Plus Series) in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models.
The new drives utilize the multi-level cell technology - resulting in lower cost, but also slower speed. The drives will have a nominal read speed of 128MB/s and a write speed of 80MB/s. The drives will retail for $170, $295 and $538 US respectively.
Although choosing these drives for speed is ultimately a poor decision due to the availability of inexpensive SATA/SAS RAID configurations, there is simply no denying the amazing access times - 0! ms. These SSDs are fantastic for IO performance. They are well suited for database servers that are small in size but handle above average volumes of requests.
