SanDisk, an American multinational corporation which designs and develops flash memory storage solutions and software, has developed world's first 4TB SSD named Optimus MAX SSD.
Optimus MAX SSD produces less heat and consumes lower power than HDDs. According to SanDisk , Optimus MAX SSD provides read/write speeds of up to 400MB/s of up to 75,000/15,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS) through its 6Gb/s interface.
John Scaramuzzo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions at SanDisk says, "We believe that the Optimus MAX will be a disruptive force within the storage industry, catalyzing many organizations to make the switch from their HDD-prominent data center infrastructures to SSDs."
The detail of pricing of the SSD has not been detailed by Sandisk. It will come with a 5-year limited warranty. The Optimus MAX SSD and renewed Optimus family of drives will be available with TCG Enterprise Security Subsystem Class compliance to select OEMs and through the channel in Q3-2014.
