Product catalog summary
Introduction
Samsung's Green SSDs are designed to provide high-performance and energy-efficient storage solutions for enterprise computing platforms. They consume significantly less power than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and offer superior performance.

Energy Efficiency
Samsung SSDs consume 50% less power than HDDs due to the absence of mechanical parts, leading to faster data access and reduced energy consumption. This is crucial as data centers are major energy consumers, with projections indicating they will consume 3% of the US's electricity by 2011.

Performance
SSDs offer a significant performance advantage over HDDs, performing 110 times faster in Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) compared to a 15K RPM SAS HDD. This allows a single SSD to potentially replace 10 to 100 HDDs in high-performance applications.

Reliability
SSDs are 30% more reliable than enterprise HDDs, with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of two million hours. They generate less heat, reducing cooling requirements, and protect data during power loss with an auxiliary power supply.

Environmental Impact
Adopting SSDs can significantly reduce CO2 emissions and power consumption, contributing to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and increased return on investment (ROI). If all storage capacity in 2009 was on Samsung's Green SSDs, 746 billion watt hours of electricity could be saved annually.

Technical Specifications
Samsung SSDs feature a 3.5-inch form factor, available in 100GB and 200GB densities, with a maximum weight of 320g. They support a Serial ATA interface of 3.0 Gbps, with active read and write power consumption of 1.8W and 3.7W, respectively.

Conclusion
Samsung's Green SSDs offer an economic and environmental solution for data centers, providing substantial savings in power, cooling, and storage costs while enhancing performance and reliability.

Green SSD 3.5 Inch-2

SAMSUNG GREEN SSD In a world where a high degree of energy efficiency is critical to our future, we must examine every way possible to reduce our power consumption. A 2008 study by McKinsey & Company found that data centers consume 0.5 percent of the world's energy and are second to the airline industry in carbon dioxide emissions, emitting more CO2 gases than Argentina or the Netherlands. In the US, data centers consume more electricity than all of the country's televisions, and the EPA estimates that by 2011, they will consume an incredible three percent of the country's electricity.

^^^^^^ 7.0 KW HDD Storage Samsung SSD is Green. In the US, data centers consume more electricity than all of the country's televisions, and the EPA estimates that by 2011, data centers will consume three percent of the country's electricity. For these reasons, companies today are increasingly seeking ways to reduce power consumption without compromising performance. IOPS per watt is a key factor in judging storage capacity, as well as how IOPS manage and restrict power consumption. Samsung SSDs can access up to 240 times more IOPS per watt than a traditional 15K RPM HDD. Samsung SSD. More Reliability....

SUNG GREEN SS SSD Benefits. How do SSDs impact your company's bottom line? In a typical enterprise storage application, the savings in moving from HDDs to SSDs can be realized on day one. You start saving money the second you decide to adopt SSD technology, essentially an "instantaneous TCO savings." The chart below shows the benefits of a hybrid SSD system versus a HDD in a 63 Terabyte (TB) configuration. This HDD storage scenario utilized 240GB 300GB 15Krpm Fiber Channel HDDs while the SSD storage is comprised of 8 200GB SSDs with 136 300GB HDDs. SSD BENEFIT IN REAL SYSTEM Key Features Active...
