Availability of Swissbit D1200 PCIe NVMe 1.4 U.3 Up to 15.4TB SSD with 3D TLC NAND for Data Center

Swissbit AG announces the launch of its latest PCIe SSD designed for data center applications.

The D1200 SSD is optimized for workloads demanded by applications including databases, cloud computing, media streaming or AI. It combines performance values, reliability and an extended NVMe feature set, including security functions for demanding cloud applications. Compared to existing mainstream data center SSDs, which are prone to significant performance degradation, D1200 delivers a highest sustained system performance over its lifetime. In addition, features including Full Data Path Protection, NVMe-MI for out-of-band-management and Secure Boot are available to protect critical data and guarantee system security. The D1200 SSD is available with storage capacities of 7.68 and 15.4TB.

“Our new D1200 SSD offers superior and, most importantly, consistently high system performance that can handle even the most demanding workloads, making performance degradation a thing of the past,” said Roger Griesemer, GM, memory solutions. “In this way, providers and data center operators can lower the cost of maintenance or SSD replacement while enabling their customers to achieve consistently high service levels. Latest NAND technology and optimized hardware design also help reduce power consumption and thus lower energy costs.“

The U.3 SSD is based on enterprise-grade 3D TLC NAND (eTLC), is backwards compatible with U.2, and has both a 4-lane PCIe and NVMe 1.4 interface. As a result, it achieves bandwidths of up to 6,900MB/s for sequential reads and 7,000MB/s for sequential writes. Up to 1.6 million IO/s for reads and 900,000 IO/s for writes are possible with Random Access. With support for up to 128 namespaces, D1200 SSD provides flexibility and efficiency for virtualizing cloud applications and managing data in data centers. Its endurance values are at least 1.5 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day), when measured vs. a standardized workload (JEDEC Enterprise Workload) over a 5-year period.

This SSD also includes many more features that enhance data security even further. These include Full Data Path Protection, NVMe-MI for out-of-band-management, telemetry, Persistent Event Log and AES-data-encryption. By verifying firmware integrity and encryption before loading, Secure Boot adds an additional layer of security.
