The "return" Memoright in SSDs

MemorRight, a company famous in the early SSD "general public" as a competitor of Mtron (now defunct company), returns. The new range GTR II is destined always to the professional market, with models based on SLC memory - very strong - and SSDs intended for extreme uses, including a certification to MIL-STD-810F.

By simplifying, SSDs are resistant to dust, shock, and especially in high and low temperatures (-40 ° C to +85 ° C), which is not confined to conventional models. Capacity varies from 16 to 128 GB and sequential performance are correct, but no more 200 MB / s read and write. With 10,000 IOPS read, the DSS takes the road, but with only 1,500 IOPS write, it comes in models from several years ago.

While some models reach blithely 50,000 IOPS, this value may seem ridiculous. Remains to be seen to use if it is really an issue especially if the company uses the same basis as other manufacturers, such as Intel uses two methods to count the IOPS on its consumer models and professional models, while the actual performance are close on this point.

No price announced but the SLC memory and certifications should make the model inaccessible to ordinary mortals.
