OCZ Technology Reveals Chiron 4TB SSD

by - source: OCZ Technology PR

OCZ Technology reveals its Chiron 4TB SSD for Enterprise at CES 2012

OCZ Technology has introduced the Chiron SSD Series for Enterprise that provides a staggering 4 TB capacity in a compact 3.5-inch form factor based on the Indilinx Everest controller. Chiron delivers performance speeds above 560 MB/s and 100,000 IOPS. The 4TB capacity helps eliminate the need for high capacity HDDs as anything other than backup devices. The Chiron Series enables mass SSD storage and is capable of deploying up to 96TB of storage in a 4U rackmount server chassis.

The device you now hold is worth more than the combined gross national product of all South American Countries.

I wouldn't mind winning four of those in sweepstakes by OCZ and Tom's Hardware, to use in my Synology NAS...

RAID up 5 of these so you have a bit of fault tolerance and get 2Tb transfer speeds on 16Tb of storage.

ONLY if I won the lottery, and definately the 3rd thing I bought after the Buggati Veyron and the yacht.

by the time i can afford a SSD drive for my gaming computer of this size (couple hundred bucks) we should have drives much faster (maybe with light peak or something) till then ill just keep about my daily business and wait for my 7970 show up at my door :)

makaveli316 :
price = 2500$....



Can't be... SSD is usually 1.5 dollars per gigabyte currently.
It has to be at least 4,000

makaveli316 :
Ooops now i saw 4tb, i was thinking 2tb, so once again price = 4500$



Consumer stuff is over $1/G. I assume this is SLC so I bet 3/G easily, so maybe 10K +.

I would say this will cost around $5000. Have to add the 25% increase because its new. I really wish SSD drives were cheaper.

I got to agree with gtvr on this one. Easily 10k+

That stuff will cost atleast 4k . Some day thieves won't rob the bank . They will go after these beauties.

considering a OCZ 1 TB VeloDrive 3 (MLC) sells for 5000$... i would not be surprised to see a price in the range of 15-20k

Despite the price, you have to admit it's nice to have dreams that you'll never achieve and have to RMA after 2 weeks (hint hint OCZ)

Enterprise storage usually costs 11$ per GB

I would love to Raid 5 these in my area. 4tb ssd storage is better than the 2tb disk storage we have now. If its $4500 * 5= $22500 for the disks
Server =$12000
$34500 not bad for 4tb of ultimate storage.

With density this high in such a small form factor HDD manufacturers are going to need a small miricle to stay in business for server markets over the next few years. As with the 12TB R5 they were showing off the other day, they can really charge an arm and a leg, and still have better IOPS/$ than a slew of HDDs. Plus it will be on a single card, produce very little heat, and take very little power. Very exciting tech! Can't wait for it to filter down to the consumer and prosumer markets!

Watch this cost more than my car. I want to watch and see if OCZ releases some lower capacity drives for less money. Hard drive companies are gonna have to step up the game as Dell and other companies start including more SSD's in their prebuilts.

Price/GB goes up as the size increases with the SSDs. Not quite the same scale as with the HDDs.

Lol @ people saying they want these for their gaming rig. You do not need 4TB of SSD for a gaming rig. Nobody has 4TB of games they actually play on a regular basis, and if you do, go get a damn job.

It's really not that hard to simply move games to and from a large mechanical disk to make use of a much smaller SSD. If you think you need terabytes to install your games and download your torrents to, you're just not very bright, or maybe just extremely lazy.

BTW, putting movies and such on an SSD is idiotic unless you're editing them.

The acticle actually has a "small" mistake. You can actually fit 192TB (48 x 4TB) in a 4U chassis, if you use one of these
