 Nov 30, 2010 Eurocom launches RAID 10 notebooks with 4x 480GB OCZ VERTEX2 SandForce-1200 Contact: Eurocom launches RAID 10 notebooks with superfast 480GB OCZ VERTEX2 SandForce-1200 Solid State Drives Eurocom is announcing an addition to its already extensive list of multi vendor storage solutions with OCZ's 480GB Vertex 2 SATA 300 2.5" MLC SSD drive, product code: OCZSSD2-2VTXE480G. The Vertex 2 drive will be available in all Eurocom Mobile Workstations and Mobile Servers to offer industry leading SSD performance and capacity. 1) About OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE480G The OCZ Vertex 2 drive is based on new cutting edge architecture to push the limits in both sequential and read/write rates. With performance that outdoes the competition the Vertex 2 provides ideal quality, reliability and long lasting life needed by the most demanding users. The low power consumption of the drive makes it ideal for mobile use when the customer is relying solely on the battery; the drive only uses 2W while operating and .5W in standby. OCZ Vertex 2 also provides superior ECC protection, which mimics RAID like redundancy and recovery from flash block failures. - Key Specifications - 400-480GB Max Performance - Max Read: up to 250MB/s - Max Write: up to 240MB/s - Sustained Write: up to 200MB/s - Random Write 4KB (Aligned): 22,500 IOPS - SATA 3Gb/s - Native TRIM support - RAID Support 2) About SANDFORCE-1200 CONTROLLER A key technology of the OCZ Vertex 2 is the Sandforce 1200 Controller. Using the latest controller technology, Vertex 2 provides a faster, more responsive PC experience, while also offering a cooler, quieter, and more energy efficient conditions compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. SF-1200 SSD Processors provide up to 100x greater data protection than today's SSD, by using ECC and RAISE(tm) (Redundant Array of Independent Silicone Elements). RAISE provides protection, speed and reliability without the write overhead. PERFORMANCE: - Random Read IOPS: 30,000 (@4K blocks) - Random Write IOPS: 30,000 burst/10,000 sustained (@4K blocks) - PCMark05: 40,000 (HDD test suite score) - PCMark Vantage: 43,000 (HDD test suite score) The addition of the high end Vertex 2 drive to the already long list of drive options gives Eurocom customers an even greater choice of drives to fit every budget and performance level. 3) EUROCOM MOBILE WORKSTATIONS Eurocoms Mobile Workstations are improved with the new Vertex 2 drive because they offer improved sequential and random read/write rates to take productivity to the next level.
