Data security is everything for enterprise storage and that’s why this StorageReview.com teardown analysis of the Samsung SM825 Enterprise SSD is so interesting. Sure, the drive has a sleek aluminum case that’s worthy of a SuperBowl commercial but inside you’ll find four large supercapacitors with enough energy storage (55 seconds worth) to keep the drive going long enough to complete all cached storage write operations. A great idea that will have a big influence on future enterprise server and storage shelf design.
