ZEUSIOPSSOLID STATE DRIVE Storage Performance Revolution for Enterprise
ZeusIOPS is a unique solid state drive designed to create a storage performance revolution for enterprise applications. ZeusIOPS enables storage systems to realize outstanding, sustainable Input/Outputs per second (IOPS) to relieve performance bottlenecks associated with traditional rotating media disk drives.
ZeusIOPS breathes new life into existing storage infrastructures, increases server utilization, and reduces the total cost of ownership.
ZeusIOPS eliminates the wait time for processors associated with rotating media access latency.
One ZeusIOPS drive can replace multiple hard drives, eliminate the need for additional volatile DRAM, and ease the cliff-like performance drop-off in performance from DRAM to rotating media.
ZeusIOPS Solid State Drive is revolutionizing the way businesses access critical data by overcoming the performance bottleneck inherent to traditional rotating media HDD storage.
FEATURES
Random Transactional Performance in excess of 80,000 IOPS sustained
3.5" Form Factor for drop-in replacement into existing storage systems
Less than half the power consumption of 15K HDD's
Sustained random or sequential large blocks transfers to 350 MB/s
Built-in Wear Advanced Leveling
Enabling MLC and SLC media for enterprise class performance
BENEFITS
HIGH PERFORMANCE
ZeusIOPS Solid State Drive delivers the performance of 200 HDDs with just one drive. While hard drive access times are measured in milliseconds, access times for ZeusIOPS are in microseconds, enabling a significant increase in random transactional processing.
HIGH RELIABILITY
ZeusIOPS Solid State Drive uses no moving parts and is twice as reliable as the best-in-class enterprise class disk drives. ZeusIOPS provides a new level of reliability for critical computing environments.
A GREEN LEADER
With data center storage capacity requirements increasing 50-60% per year without an end in sight, it is more important than ever to keep volatile power and cooling requirements in check. Without motors to spin or parts to move, ZeusIOPS consumes about a third of the power of a typical data center disk drive and requires far less cooling. ZeusIOPS is available in a lead-free (RoHS-6) version.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
The ZeusIOPS SSD drive that fits seamlessly into existing enterprise storage infrastructures. Because there are no drivers required, ZeusIOPS appears to any system or RAID controller as just another drive that can be managed by existing storage management tools; true plug-and-play elegance.
LOWER TOTAL COST OF OPERATION
For comparable performance requirements, a 200 hard disk drive storage system can cost 5-6 times as much as a ZeusIOPS system because of additional up-front hardware as well as recurring maintenance, power and cooling costs.

PERFORMANCE
No matter how you measure performance, the MACH8 Solid State Drive will outperform the expectations. The MACH8 Solid State Drive can achieve up to 100MB/s sustainable sequential read and write speed. The Drive can deliver up to 5,000 read IOPS in the base version and up to 10,000 in the MACH8IOPS Solid State Drive version, 20 to 40 times more than the best HDD available on the market.
All these extraordinary performance are achievable thanks to the revolutionary architecture of the MACH8, designed for speed and reliability.
FULL DATA PATH PROTECTION
Any data that is transferred to the drive is protected via a powerful error correction mechanism. For the first time in the industry, the error correction is also applied to the cache memory and to the spare area of the flash, the critical area that stores the mapping information. The MTBF of the MACH8 Solid State Drive is 2,800,000 hours, twice as much as the best-in-class HDD. The non-recoverable error rate is less than 1 error per 1020 bits read.
POWER DOWN PROTECTION
The MACH8 Solid State Drive employs both hardware and software mechanisms to prevent data loss in case of power fluctuation or power loss. The hardware protection prolongs power long enough to transfer all the data from the cache to the non-volatile memory. The software protection assures data integrity by verifying that valid data are not overwritten by corrupted data.
EXTRAORDINARY ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
Given that there are no moving parts and thanks to the optimized sub-system design, the MACH8 Solid State Drive can withstand extreme environmental conditions.
The drive will survive random vibrations up to 16.3G and operating shocks up to 1,500G. As any STEC's flash products, the MACH8 Solid State Drive is available also in industrial temperature Range (-40; 85C), with non-operating temperature ranging from -55C up to 95C. Relative humidity can ranges from 5% up to 95% and altitude goes from 1,000ft (-304.80m) up to 80,000ft (24,384m).
LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION
MACH8 Solid State Drive consumes only 2.1W in operating mode, roughly half of high-end rotating HDD. The same consideration applies for the idle state, with MACH8 consuming only 550mA.
S.M.A.R.T
The MACH8 Solid State Drive supports the S.M.A.R.T. feature (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology). The S.M.A.R.T. feature set protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and calibration parameters. No unscheduled down-time is drastically reducing the total cost of ownership.

MACH4 SOLID STATE DRIVE World’s Smallest, Fastest and Lowest Power Solid State Drive Solution
Introducing MACH4, the World’s smallest, fastest and lowest power solid state drive solution optimized for embedded OEM applications.
MACH4’s unique blend of performance, size, and low power makes it an ideal solution for blade servers, industrial PCs, and small format devices requiring the highest throughput in the smallest package. As more technology is packed into tighter designs, the need for smaller solid state storage formats will increase.
Many of these applications including GPS/navigation solutions, automotive entertainment systems, interactive kiosks, and even ultra-compact thin clients require the smallest possible storage solutions that, until now, lacked the performance required to make them true hard disk replacements. MACH4 solves this dilemma with a high performance, multi-channel design providing SATA or Ultra DMA performance to deliver the fastest, highest capacity, and smallest storage solution available in the industry today.
Revolutionizing the way solid state storage is used; STEC’s new MACH4 platform enables system designers to reduce the footprint and power envelope of their designs allowing them to offer unprecedented products to their customers. Because the MACH4 uses solid state NAND flash technology, it has very low latency compared to a traditional hard disk drive, consumes far less power (approximately 200 milliamps or 1 watt compared to 12 watts for a standard 7200rpm ATA disk drive), and performs much better under extreme environmental conditions – e.g. shock, vibration, altitude, humidity, and temperature. In addition, throughput up to 90 megabytes per second means no compromise in performance and high capacity (up to 32 gigabytes using MLC flash) means sufficient storage capacity for virtually all embedded applications.
There really is no limit to the design possibilities around MACH4. Because of its ultra-compact size, high throughput, and low power consumption, it can be used as a drive replacement for virtually any device with extreme space-constraints or those requiring standard hard disk like performance with much lower power demands. Because of these and many other features including advanced flash management, security, and reliability, MACH4 is truly a marvel of modern storage technology.

Based on SLC Flash and high quality components, STEC solid state storage solutions provide an unparalleled MTBF of more than 8,000,000 hrs. In the event of host system power loss, data integrity is further assured via STEC’s power-down data protection methodology ensuring that critical data is not lost or corrupted.
FLEXIBILITY AND COMPATIBILITY
Support for SATA or ATA interfaces as well as support for Ultra DMA, MWDMA, and PIO operating modes makes MACH4 one of the most flexible storage solutions for system designers to implement. And because STEC develops its own controller and firmware, the MACH4 can be adapted to meet a wide variety of timing and software requirements.
FORM FACTOR
