Are Flash Solid-State Disk Drives Ready for the Enterprise?

BiTMICRO Networks leads the industry in pushing exponential growth in Flash-SSD performance by introducing the 3.5-inch E-Disk Fibre Channel and Ultra320 SCSI series with sustained R/W rates of up to 68 MBytes/sec and up to 10,500 random IOPS. In comparison, the fastest 3.5-inch mechanical HDD spinning at 15,000 RPM can only deliver up to 600 random IOPS. Figure C reveals that within a 20-year period, BiTMICRO 3.5-inch Flash-SSDs will post more than 20x improvement in sustained random R/W rates peaking at 1.6 GBytes/sec by 2008. In terms of IOPS, Flash-SSDs are projected to reach a peak of 240,000 random IOPS (for a 3.5-inch E-Disk 10 Gbits/sec Fibre Channel) by 2008, a 24x improvement within a 20-year period.
