The new series leverages the latest A19nm NAND flash from Toshiba and is available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities. It utilizes OCZ’s Barefoot 3 controller which together with the Toshiba NAND is able to reach
550 MB/s for sequential reads (128KB blocks),  470 MB/s for sequential writes (128KB blocks),  98,000 IOPS for random reads (4KB blocks) and  20,000 IOPS for random writes (4KB blocks).

These numbers are achieved in steady state when the  Saber 1000 Series 960GB drive is writing, erasing and re-writing data repeatedly over its full capacity.

The drives consume about  3.7 watts of power  in an active state and in the event of a sudden power loss, the Saber 1000 Series uses a technique referred to as Power Failure Management Plus (PFM+) which holds up the SSD circuitry long enough to ensure the integrity of the device so that it can be fully operational again once power is restored.

Monitoring and management is provided by OCZ’s StoragePeak 1000 SSD Management System that enables central monitoring and administering connected Saber 1000 SSDs and other OCZ enterprise class solution resources from a web-based management interface.

This network-accessible management system connects to multiple hosts (running Linux or Windows operating systems) providing a cross-platform view of the OCZ SSDs connected to servers, storage arrays or appliances, and includes a user configurable alerting systems that enables IT corrective actions to be initiated at an early stage.

OCZ has not announced pricing and availibility on the drives.
