OCZ is rolling out a new line of solid state drives with the
business world in mind. The OCZ 6000 Series takes advantage of the latest and
greatest in interface specifications, boasting 16-channel NAND, third
generation PCIe x4, and NVMe support. They also have higher than average
read and write speeds, topping out at 2900 MB/s sequential read, and 1900 MB/s
sequential write.
On top of all that, the OCZ 6000 Series
drives come with a number of relevant efficiency and convenience features.
They are built with temperature sensors and automatic thermal
throttling, plus user-selectable power envelopes, so you won’t have any trouble
playing it cool. Because of their 2.5″ form factor, the drives are
hot-swappable.
Included in the release are two
families of drives, both in the 2.5″ form factor. The base 6000 Series is
designed for read-intensive applications, like video streaming or storing data
records. It’s only built to endure one drive write per day over the course
of five years, though that’s probably more than enough for most users.
The 6300 Series is designed for
mixed use, like web servers, cloud computing, or data processing. It’s built
for up to three drive writes per day over the course of five years, but boasts
a slightly lower IOPS and sequential write bandwidth than the 6000.
Both the 6000 and 6300 Series drives will
be available in one, two, and four terabyte physical capacities, but are all
loaded with the IDEMA Advanced Formatting, so their usable capacities are 800,
1600, and 3200GB respectively
OCZ also mentions a 6.4TB capacity
version of the 6300 model, but clarifies that it will be available in a future
release. There’s also specifications for a half height, half length form
factor release of the 6300 Series, but the company
hasn’t mentioned when it will be available.
