The SSD Review posted a review on the SMART Storage Systems Optimus 400GB SAS SSD

The race to get the performance and longevity of expensive SLC flash at MLC prices has been going on for some time now.

SMART Storage Systems believe that their unique blend of technologies has the potential to replace SLC-based drives in many applications, helping to tip the scales of price vs. performance in favor of high-endurance MLC products.

SMART’s Optimus SAS SSD is designed to accommodate ten full random drive writes per day for five years while achieving high levels of performance along the way. We can test the performance of the Optimus, but verifying SMART’s claims about it’s endurance is impractical. Nevertheless, it has five years of warranty coverage and some impressive characteristics to explore in greater detail.
