Solid State Drives, Enterprise Flash Drives offer superior performance,
reliability and endurance for embedded systems.
Data Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS, Inc.) brings proven enterprise storage
expertise to the growing SSD market and extends its position by becoming
the first hard drive supplier to deliver ultra-high performance SAS and Fibre
Channel solid state drives (SSDs).
DSS, Inc. SSD strategy complements its enterprise HDD product line and supports a robust, tiered-storage architecture for optimum application performance and workload management.

Data Storage Systems, Inc. sells and supports Enterprise Flash Drives (EFD) that are being sought after in data centers requiring
the highest I/O performance (IOPS) and reliability. An Enterprise Flash Drive is a SSD with a higher set of specifications compared
to SSDs. SSDs and EFD's use microchips that retain data in non-volatile memory chips and contain no moving parts. Compared to
electromechanical HDDs, SSDs / EFD's are typically less susceptible to physical shock. Plus, SSD / EFD are silent, have lower access
time and latency. Enterprise flash drives (EFDs) are designed for applications requiring higher I/O performance (IOPS), reliability,
and energy efficiency.
Single Level Cell (SLC) Vs. Multi Level Cell (MLC) Flash
Endurance - the general rule is that SLC NAND can endure 100,000 write cycles while MLC can endure only 10,000 cycles. SSD vendors use proprietary techniques to alleviate the endurance drawbacks of MLC flash. For example, STEC uses a NAND management technique called "CellCare" on its MLC-based SSDs. STEC also uses a proprietary technique called Secure Array of Flash Elements (SAFE), which adds parity in the SSD for recovery, reducing the error rate that a host "sees."
Performance
It’s possible to get near-equivalent read performance with MLC but MLC NAND suffers on write performance compared to SLC flash. Our vendors are using a variety of techniques to improve the write performance on MLC SSDs, although there are tradeoffs.
Some vendors use more channels for parallelism but that leads to challenges in power consumption. Some vendors use synchronous operations at the device level, but that increases costs. Generally, there’s a 2X to 3X difference in write performance between SLC and MLC at the NAND level.
Recommendations
Price is often the leading factor for users which is why more vendors are working on MLC If your applications are mostly reads, MLC is a very effective solution. However, if you have write-intensive applications DSS, Inc. recommends a serious look at SLC.
It isn’t necessarily an either/or decision. An emerging trend is to combine SLC and MLC SSDs in a tiered configuration in the same way you might tier SAS and SATA drives.
