LSI Corporation annou­nced the release of new controller firmware for its
3ware 9650SE SATA RAID controller cards, which provides support for Intel X25-E
Extreme SATA solid state drives (SSDs). The firmware upgrade is designed to
provide full compliance with the Intel SSDs for servers, storage and high-end
workstations.

Intel X25-E Extreme SSDs are based on single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash
technology to offer fast read and write times as well as high reliability. The
products complement the Intel drives with enhanced performance and reliability.

“LSI controller cards play a pivotal role in maximizing solid state drive
perfor­mance and protecting existing investments in hard disk drives,” said
Brent Blanchard, Director-Worldwide Channel Sales and Marketing, LSI. “Multiple
drive types can be supported by a single 3ware controller while maintaining
performance, which makes it easier and more cost effective to incorporate SSDs
into existing enterprise SAS and SATA system environments,” he added.

ports.
