MFT-7000 Series Flash Solid State Disks

The following graph shows the throughput of the PRO 7000 drive both as a bare drive, and with the same drive MFT-enabled. 15,000 rpm and 7,200 rpm hard disk performance is shown for comparison purposes. Note how, due to the high random read speed, even a PRO drive without MFT outperforms a 15,000 rpm SAS drive.

The following table demonstrates the point that the random read rate of a PRO 7000 is extremely fast. A 15,000 rpm hard drive performs only about 250 random reads a second, and a 7,200 rpm hard drive only delivers 70. As a result, the PRO's random read is literally 140 times faster than that of a Laptop hard drive. But the table also shows that the Mobi's native random write capability is literally as much as 80 times slower than its random read. The table also shows how MFT's linear method of random writing improves random write speed beyond the random read rate.

The following graph shows the projected daily erase life capability based upon data size written. Clearly, when MFT enabled, the PRO 7000 can accept more than fifteen overwrites of the entire drive on a daily basis, no matter what the data size, and still be expected to last five years. Given that the vast majority of servers overwrite less than 20% of their surface a day, it is clear that an MFT enabled PRO 7000 is an ideal solution for a broad spectrum of Servers and Workstations.

The following table compares the PRO 7000 both MFT enabled and bare with the reasonable write throughput of different hard disks. It also looks at the duty cycle to complete the work shown. This, in another way, makes the point that when MFT enabled, the PRO 7000 is just a lot faster than hard disks.
