Google server search options to improve the speed solid
As part of a plan to reduce energy consumption, Google Prepared in their Server Using solid-state Hard disk .
According to DigiTimes citing anonymous sources to provide news reports, is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of this year, these solid-state drives will be used Intel Flash memory chips and Marvell the control chip. Reports that sources predicted that, as used on the server increase the number of solid-state hard drive, 16GB and 32GBNAND flash memory chips will be a tight supply situation.
Google did not comment on the matter. A Google spokesman in an emailed statement: "We will not disclose the infrastructure or the hardware details."
Google to use savings in the end, after solid-state drive, how much energy? Only be revealed until after the actual use of the puzzle. Avian Securities managing partner Avi? Cohen said: "Generally speaking, solid-state hard drive Notebook The energy level of the traditional hard drive with only half the children. But as the business environment in the storage solution, a solid state drive can replace multiple pieces of traditional hard drives, energy saving should be more clear. "
If Google uses solid-state hard drive large-scale, will help push SSD into the mainstream market. According to Cohen, said the introduction of solid-state drive industry products are slow, companies with solid-state hard drive speed is slow.
Cohen believes that the NAND flash memory chip demand will be in short supply caused by the industry. Cohen said in a telephone interview: "We hope such a situation, the current oversupply of NAND flash memory chip, the situation is quite serious."
As SSD prices higher, and does not have a clear advantage over traditional hard disk, its prevalence rate is far did not reach the industry expected. Cohen said solid-state hard drive Apple The MacBook Air Notebook Computer users has not been recognized, according to our sources said the feedback received, the user can not feel with the traditional solid-state hard drives have any significant difference.
In January of this year, Apple began its ultra-thin notebook computers used MacBookAir 64GB solid-state hard drive, the price of the traditional than the 80GB hard drive configuration of your computer 999 U.S. dollars.
Cohen said, the industry told him that Apple is working with Intel close Cooperation In Apple's MacBook Air notebook computers with Intel's latest SSD.
Presumably, a new generation of solid-state hard drive will use multi-chip memory cell, compared with the single memory cell chip, higher density, lower cost. In the next 6 months, 100GB solid-state drive prices to drop to around 400-500 dollars.
Cohen said, because the traditional hard disk and solid-state drives have their own unique advantages, they will for a long period of time acquired by using the internal data center. Traditional hard drives read and write in the implementation of the order of tasks such as storing a large database , higher performance; solid-state hard drive in the implementation of random reading and writing tasks such as search massive search better performance. This may be Google solid state hard drive promising the reason.
