14 DAY TRIAL // OCZ has just announced that, at this year's Computex fair, the company will showcase the highly anticipated Indilinx Jet Stream SATA 6Gbps solid state drive controller as well as a wide range of other innovative SSD products.
The Jet Stream controller was under development when OCZ acquired Indilinx in mid-March, but it seems like in the short time that passed until now, the two companies have managed to make some important progress with its design.
While no performance figures were disclosed by OCZ, Jet Stream was specially designed in order to be used in high-end desktop and laptop SSD units.
Outside of the Jet Stream SSD processors, OCZ's Computex 2011 highlights will include the Z-Drive R4 PCI Express SSD line, the RevoDrive 3 and the first hybrid HDD/SSD PCI Express solution from the RevoDrive family.
The first of these solid state drives will be able to reach transfer speeds of 2.7GB/s, 330,000 4KB random write IOPS and is also compatible with the company's VCA technology.
This stands for Virtualized Controller Architecture and enables internally RAIDed drives to use the TRIM command in order to wipe blocks of data that are no longer in use.
The technology was used for the first time in the company's Talos 3.5-inch enterprise SSDs.
"Computex Taipei is the ideal venue to unveil our next generation SSD solutions for HPC and enterprise clients," said Alex Mei, chief marketing officer at OCZ Technology Group.
"This year we are pushing the envelope once again, showcasing the newest SATA 6Gbps Indilinx controller, the next generation best-of-breed MLC based enterprise PCIe drives, and innovative hybrid SSDs and caching solutions," concluded the company's rep.
Computex 2011 will be held between May 31 and June 4 in Taipei, Taiwan.
