As it became known, the last day of CES'09 Pure Silicon submitted to the court users a new series of SSD drives - Nitro. All models in this series are made in the form factor of 2.5 inches and in sizes from 32 GB to 1 GB. Thus, the array of 4 SSD drives will be 1 Tbyte much less space in the server systems than the usual array of hard drives, and also consumes much less power compared to last. As stated PureSi, the density of recording data on the patterns of a series of Nitro reaches unprecedented mark - 15.4 GB that is much higher than other existing models in this class. With regard to the speed of recording and reading, it is also out of competition Nitro. According to the company at CES'09.
