Other World Computing (OWC) will showcase its new OWC
Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G Solid State Drive at
Macworld.
Certified for mission-critical deployments that demand
performance and data reliability, the drive delivers
data rates of more than 500MB/s, up to 100x greater
data protection, and up to 90 percent lower Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO), compared to the highest-rated
enterprise-class hard disk drives (HDDs). For added
protection, OWC's new Enterprise SSD completes data
writes during unexpected power outages and is backed
by the SSD industry's longest warranty - seven years.
The OWC Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G will be available by
the end of Q1 2012 in 50, 100, 200, and 400GB
capacities with pricing from $629.00.
The Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G SSD combines the latest
SandForce 2500 Series processor with
endurance-optimizing SandForce DuraClass technology
with Enterprise Toggle Syncronous (eMLC) 10K PE flash
NAND to deliver more that 3x the reliability and
lifespan of standard MLC NAND. The SandForce Driven
SSD also delivers up to 60K IOPS, and over 500MB/s
data rates.
Security protocols are used to ensure data stored in
the Mercury Enterprise Pro 6G is safe from loss,
theft, or repurposing. Data is automatically stored in
a highly secure AES-256/128 hardware double encrypted
format; and the drive meets all TCG Enterprise
Security requirements.
