The Viking Technology Element Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) SSD is designed to meet the high performance computing requirements for a variety of enterprise computing applications. Featuring a dual-ported 6Gb SAS interface and an advanced parallel NAND channel architecture, Element delivers best-in-class performance and availability for I/O intensive applications.
Element features unparalleled host to NAND write amplification efficiency for unprecedented endurance. Coupled with patented error correction capabilities and protection against normally catastrophic flash failures, Element’s architecture enables the use of Enterprise MLC (eMLC) flash technology for I/O workloads in enterprise applications that use to require SLC flash.
