SSD power savings to meet the needs of a country

According to iSuppli Corporation, from 2008 to 2013, solid-state drives (SSD) for data centers around the world to save a total of 166,643 megawatt hours (MWH) of electricity, laptop battery according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) statistics, slightly higher than in 2006 Gambia, the country’s generating capacity a year.

SSD can replace the use of data centers 10% of the high-end and high-speed hard drives (HDD), these “short-stroke” hard drive for fast read and write only transaction data, rather than for storage.

15000RPM speed for each of the SCSI (SAS) hard disks each day about 14 watts of power consumption. HDD and SSD only half of these, about 7 watts. Saving 50% is a considerable sum Latitude D520 battery , Latitude D600 battery , Latitude D610 battery , it is not an SSD in the enterprise data center used to be a small amount, but also save a lot of power.

2013, the number of energy saving is expected at the time from 2008 to 6986 MWH growth 57564 MWH, a total of six years can be saved down 166643 MWH.

It provides global data center in the enterprise server SSD can be used in energy-saving projections. However, these “short-stroke” HDD only the hard disk during the forecast period the overall global shipments of about 5%. If the storage Latitude D620 battery market completely avoid the use of HDD rotating machinery such as media move to SSD, it is expected for 2008-2013 energy savings may be iSuppli forecast 20 times.
   SSD into the enterprise data center is very conducive to energy conservation, Latitude D800 battery in the near future to replace the hard part of the short stroke.
