Обсуждение: SSDs again, LSI Warpdrive 2 anyone?
A vendor has recommended the above drive to us - anyone have experience with it or its predecessor Warpdrive? http://www.storagereview.com/lsi_warpdrive_2_lp_display_idf_2011 http://www.storagereview.com/lsi_warpdrive_slp300_review The specs look quite good, and the cards have capacitors on them - however I can't see any *specific* mention about poweroff safety (am going to follow that up directly myself). Cheers Mark

Seems like the "Warp Drive 2" was a pre-release name, "Nytro" is the actual appellation. http://www.lsi.com/channel/products/storagecomponents/Pages/SolidState.aspx Cheers Mark
Hi Mark, I work for the division at LSI that supports the Nytro WarpDrive and can confirm that these support poweroff safety (data is persistent in the event of an abrupt loss of power). The Nytro WarpDrive has onboard capacitance to sync intermediate ram buffers to flash, and after powerloss the card is imediately available for use (even as a boot device). There is lots more information on Nytro Products here: http://www.thesmarterwaytofaster.com/ http://www.thesmarterwaytofaster.com/ As well as a place to apply for a free trial of the products, so if you would like to give it a try let me know.
