OCZ 's new Synapse Cache Series of 2.5" SSDs integrates a caching software to dynamically manage the use of both SSD and HDD for higher storage performance.
The Synapse Cache 2.5" SSDs are optimized for caching applications and leverages Dataplex cache software to dynamically manage the Synapse SSD in conjunction with standard hard disk drives (HDDs), to provide with SSD-level performance across the entire capacity of the HDD.
"We see the Synapse Cache SSDs integrated with Dataplex software as a big win for a large number of customers who value SSD performance but still require HDD capacity. We are proud to be the first to offer this no-compromise approach to enabling high-performance and high-capacity storage for virtually any PC platform," said Tobias Brinkmann, Director of Product Management, OCZ Technology Group.
This caching solution prioritizes the most frequently/recently used "hot" data on the Synapse Cache SSD, while "cold," less frequently used data is stored on the larger capacity HDD.
Caching algorithms learn user behavior and adapt storage policies to ensure optimal performance for each individual user, maximizing productivity for the most demanded programs and applications:
OCZ Synapse Cache SSDs are available now in 2.5" SATA III 64GB and 128GB configurations throughout the company's global channel. They come backed by a 3-year warranty.
