Western Digital launches 15 TB enterprise SAS SSD 1 Western Digital's 15 TB Ultrastar SAS SSD has twice the capacity of its previous version, but only half of the capacity of Toshiba's 31 TB whopper. Ultrafast, NVMe-based PCI Express solid-state drives may represent the future of enterprise storage technology, but drive vendors still see a future in SAS SSDs. searchstorage.techtarget.com Western Digital this week said it is shipping samples of its highest-density enterprise SAS SSD to OEMs. The new 2.5-inch Ultrastar DC SS530 can store up to 15.36 TB, doubling the capacity over the prior SS300 model, thanks to denser 64-layer 3D NAND flash that can help lower costs. The SS530 is due to be production-ready at the end of this quarter. "There's a lot of excitement around NVMe [nonvolatile memory express]. But SAS is still a very trusted, reliable interface. It's an interface that lets you mix HDDs and SSDs," said Eddie Ramirez, senior director of product management for enterprise SSDs at Western Digital, based in San Jose, Calif. continues at the link [I get the feeling every time I read about falling NAND prices that the writer ignores the fact that costs are also dropping. And their articles would be much more complete if they included that fact. The previous article is a better case in point than this one, but almost every article I read about does the same thing. And NAND gluts lead to higher density and larger capacity SSDs, which should soak up the supposed glut, in addition to price elasticity, which the previous article does talk about.]
