SanDisk Announces Release of the ULLtraDIMM SSD

 

 

 SanDisk Corporation, a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced that its ULLtraDIMM Solid State Drive (SSD), the industry's first enterprise-class, ultra-low latency, memory channel storage solution, is now shipping for qualification with select enterprise servers. The addition of flash technology on the DRAM memory channel expands the growing penetration of flash storage technology in enterprise data centers, and complements SanDisk's existing flash-based server hardware and software storage solutions.

 

SanDisk's ULLtraDIMM SSD will be used by IBM under the eXFlash DIMM brand name. IBM recently announced that the eXFlash DIMM is an option for its System x3850 and x3950 X6 servers providing up to 12.8 TB of flash capacity. IBM tested the solution under a variety of enterprise workloads and end-user scenarios. These early benchmarks showed that the eXFlash DIMM SSD achieved 5-10 microsecond write latency-the lowest in the industry.

 

 

i wonder how this will work

i mean im pretty sure you need a modified linux OS to take advantage of an SSD in a RAM slot

[Samdb]

12.8TB? Yes please.

[Erik4boss]

And this would cost? 100000000000000$for 1 gb?

I was actually looking for something like this like months ago, I want one for laptop ram,

OMG I WANT

 

Ive always wondered why no one has come up with the brilliant idea to cache your OS on ram

[ERSCreeper]

[TopWargamer]

[YouRezz]

[Hargreaves]

[Guest GRRigger]

absolutelly surreal

[MagnetSh0CK]

All of my want...

[Rheinwasser]

oh that looks interesting! 

[Altecice]

seems a waste.... meaning you need to give up a ram DIMM for it. meaning possibly dropping dual/triple channel... not worth it over PCIE SSD's

This isn't practical for consumer devices because each time you restart, the ram will clear itself. I'm pretty sure this is still applicable to this, but someone correct me if I am wrong.

[Vampire2.0]

when are they coming to the consumer marked with this?

[kuddlesworth9419]

Cause if the power goes out you're screwed.

How about having the OS stored in the BIOS. That way everytime you re-boot the OS is restored to its original form. Documents and the such are loaded through a standard SSD. And when the power goes out or you turn off your PC a small battery is used to pwoer the HDD to finish writing what you did to the standard SSD. I might just be onto something here.

not a waste for those with empty dimm slots

[Andrew48]

I want it! I dont have any use for it but I want it!

[SSOB]

12.8TB? Yes please.

Probably is the same thing as the theorathical 2TB storge on (micro)SD cards. It will never be archievable the next 5 years i think.
