According to a the study by Carnegie Mellon and Google, an HDD fails at the rate of 8.6% even in a well-controlled environment. This cause not only material costs but also entails labor costs, losses due to downtime as well as customer relations management costs.

Typically, systems handling huge data flow and requiring perfect uptime are designed with hundreds of hard drives aggregated into 2 or more layers just to achieve the required performance level. The capacity yielded by these is often not needed, and the volume and scale of these systems are unnecessarily huge and redundant, causing other management costs.

A typical 15k rpm HDD consumes about 10 to 15 watts. By comparison, the Mtron SSD PRO consumes about 1/8th as much. The random read performance of a 15k rpm HDD is about 300, while the Mtron SSD PRO is 18,000. If you try to achieve a similar level of IOPS with a 15k rpm HDD, you would need more than 50 to 60 of them. If you calculate their total power consumption, the difference is more than 250 times, not to mention the per unit cost. If you add the cooling and ventilation power consumption into consideration, the difference in savings is substantial.
Mtron SSD PRO is designed and tested to ensure reliability in a 24/7 working environment. The advantages of higher performance, higher reliability and lower power consumption resolves all the inherent shortcomings of hard drives.
Mtron SSD PRO provides monitoring tool for the system manager to look out all the information regarding flash
management.
One of major portal service companies in Korea, Daum Communications, achieved tremendous cost saving in their server systems by implementing Mtron SSD. They had 1,000 servers for a particular search engine system with conventional HDDs. They were able to achieve not only the performance gain but also dramatic reduction of server units to go from 1,000 to less than 400 by implementing Mtron SSD. This case demonstrated how Mtron SSD can gain better performance and reduce all the unnecessary cost caused by HDD including all the managing, administration cost.
