Mtron PRO-7000 Series Flash Solid State Disks |
|
Mtron PRO Flash SSDs linear read at 120 megabytes per second, and linear write at 90 megabytes per second. The composite linear speed is faster than a 15,000 RPM SCSI disk. The MOBI product also has a random read rate of approximately >12,000 four kilobyte blocks per second. This is almost 60 times faster than a 15,000 RPM SAS drive. In our tests, the PRO random writes at about 130 four-kilobyte blocks a second. This is somewhat faster than the random write speed of a 10,000 RPM SATA drive. From a pure performance perspective, applications that are read intensive will see disk throughput nearly 30x the speed of a typical server hard drive. For update intensive applications, the Mtron PRO series performs somewhat better than a 15K SCSI drive. Combined with MFT, Mtron PRO series drives random write at ~20,000 4K IOPS or over 100 times faster than the bare drive, producing a drive normally 50x better than a 15k rpm SAS drive in normal use.
Mtron PRO drives are manufactured using high-reliability single-level chip Flash technology, are made with an extremely rugged machined metal case, and come with a 5 year warranty commencing from date-of-manufacture. PRO drives are available in both a 2.5 inch form factor suitable for most laptops, and a 3.5 inch form factor suitable for desktops and servers.
When the PRO-7000 is wedded with MFT, its performance and projected wear life increase dramatically. MFT improves typical random read and write IOPS performance by 16 times, while enhancing the projected random write life of the product by at least 50-fold. |

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. |

Higher is better. A single 15,000 rpm SAS drive has a value of 250, and a 7,200 rpm SATA drive rates at 70. Click here for explanation of calculation methodology. |

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.

| Thruput per day is based upon an average data size of 10.66kb and a read/write mix of 70% reads and 30% writes. The values shown for the 7,200 and 15,000 rpm Hard Disks are the maximum possible attainable values if these drives are run at 100% duty cycle 7x24. Values for the flash media are calculated as described here. Here, the limit to throughput is not time, but rather the number of safely available write cycles based upon a goal-life of at least five years. |
