Server systems embraced the 2.5-inch drive form factor for high performance, lower power and more configuration density (drives per shelf). A single Lighting LB will replace many hard disk drives and still deliver the same or greater I/O performance with simultaneous multiple read/write transactions and transferring data via both (dual) ports.
The Lightning LB Enterprise Flash Drive is designed to the industry standard 2.5-inch drive form factor and has a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. Pliant expanded its Lightning LB product line with two new MLC (multi-level cell) NAND flash storage devices; the Pliant Lightning LB 200M and Lightning LB 400M enterprise flash drives. The LB drive does not require changes to the existing software or hardware infrastructure. This makes integration into existing storage solutions, as well as enabling new optimized solutions seamless and simple for IT managers.
