Pliant Tries Hand at MLC-based SSD Market

Enterprise SSD vendor Pliant Technology this week released its very first MLC-based solid state drive family, the Lightning LB 200M and Lightning LB 400M.

“Pliant’s new Lighting LB drives provide IT managers and OEMs with greater system design flexibility,” said Greg Goelz, vice president of marketing, Pliant Technology. “These new drives are a great addition to Pliant’s existing SLC product family, providing enterprise IT managers with higher capacities and lower dollar per gigabyte metrics, whil still providing the level of enterprise-class reliability and endurance not previously available with other MLC solutions on the market today.”

These new drives ship in the 2.5-inch form factor with capacities ranging from 200GB to 400GB, and also include a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface for plopping seamlessly into existing SAS enterprise storage and server systems, Pliant says.
