Fujitsu Introduces Its Own SandForce-powered Solid State Drives

Wednesday, February 1st 2012

Former hard drive maker (it sold the HDD business to Toshiba in 2009) Fujitsu has finally decided to give SSDs (solid state drives) a try and so it developed and released such a storage solution. Codenamed HLACC2031A-G1, Fujitsu's SSD has a 2.5-inch form factor, a SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, a SandForce SF-2281 controller, MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash memory, and is capable of read/write speeds of up to 550/500 MB/s, and of a random read/write performance of 55,000/40,000 IOPS.

The HLACC2031A-G1 is first being shipped to APAC (Asia-Pacific) markets in two capacities - 120 GB (~ US$202) and 240 GB (~ US$427). Both models will come with a three-year warranty.

Wrong pricing, the ones quoted by the SSD review are in Singapore dollars as per http://vr-zone.com/articles/fujitsu-launches-retail-ssd-s-in-apac/14680.html The pricing is from an Australian website where the 120GB model sells for AU$189 and the 240GB model goes for AU$399.

Maybe if enough companies jump on SSD, the prices will come down and I'll actually be able to buy one >.>

Well, since Fujitsu Heavy Industries is the parent company of LSI, which in turn bought SandForce (yes, the entire controller company itself), I think it's safe to say that these drives are as close to the "original" (if there is such a thing) as you can get. ;)
