Samsung lancerer 'grønne' SDD'er
Samsung lancerer 'grøn' PCIe Solid State Drive (SSD), som forbedrer systemeffektiviteten med seks gange højere ydelse end 600MB/s SATA SSD'er (in english).
The new Green DDR4 solution from Samsung achieves a server data transfer speed of 2,133 megabits per second (Mb/s), a leap over DDR3's performance limit of 1,866 Mb/s. This enables a 15 percent performance boost and consumes 24 percent less energy.
It also provides a greater amount of error correction in further improving system reliability. Samsung is planning on expanding the high-speed DDR4 DRAM market even more in the future with additional next-generation products and will be able to eventually offer DDR4 with a data transfer speed of 3,200Mb/s, 1.5 times faster than today's DDR4 enterprise products.
Samsung's green PCIe SSD solution offers a data transfer speed of four gigabytes per second (GB/s), which is six times faster than 600MB/s SATA SSD's, while reducing the delay in data transfer by 67 percent. These performance upgrades further maximize IT return on investment by increasing the level of energy efficiency approximately 2.6 times. Samsung plans to introduce other next-generation PCIe SSDs, based on its new 3D V-NAND technology and a new proprietary NAND controller, at a later date, in further expanding the premium SSD market.
A combination of Samsung's DDR4 and PCIe SSD green memory solutions
will enhance the performance of server systems approximately 1.6 times and quadruple system capacity by eliminating unnecessary data duplication in the enterprise storage systems. As a result, the combined solution can achieve the highest level of efficiency among widely used green IT solutions and overcome difficult prerequisites for new server systems involving budget, power consumption and space optimization.
If all server systems adopted Samsung's fifth generation green memory solutions, an anticipated power savings of 45 terawatts per hour could be achieved. This translates into six billion people saving the power needed for everyday smartphone use for two years, which is equivalent to planting 800 million 10-year-old trees.
Samsung will continue its '3S' innovation strategy – involving systems, solutions and software, along with creating shared value (CSV) for itself and its customers, while developing more highly efficient green memory solutions that improve IT investments. It also will keep expanding its next-generation DDR4 DRAM and PCIe 3.0-based SSD product line-ups.
