In mid-April 2009, the California company had unveiled its SandForce controllers for flash drives and SF-1500 SF-1200. OCZ recently announced it will soon produce SSD based on these controllers. These offer capacities ranging from 50 to 400 GB.

They use it for both flash memory MLC or SLC. OCZ announced that in addition to the classic SATA 3 Gb / s, some of these new flash drives will adopt the SAS 6 Gb / s. The SandForce SF-1500 is a controller for the domain rather "business". It supports both MLC SLC that consumes 950 mW and has a MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) of 10 million hours. The FS-1200 is rather special, and more specifically the mobile market, with limited support to the MLC and reduced consumption to 550 mW. Its MTTF is 2 million hours.

The values in reading and writing sequential 128 KB are around 250-260 MB / s in both cases. Count about 120 MB / s (30 000 IOPS) in 4 KB random read performance obviously differ between the two references on the side of 4 KB random writes SF-1500 to 120 Mb / s (30 000 IOPS) while SF-1200 is limited to 40 MB / s (10 000 IOPS).

OCZ officially present its new DSS here at CES to be held next January.
