SanDisk also confirmed that HP has qualified and integrated the new Lightning 6Gb SAS drives into its HP Qualified storage drive offerings.

“With ever-increasing demands being placed on cloud and enterprise IT, our OEM partners require data storage solutions that don’t just keep up, but help their customers stay ahead,” said Greg Goelz, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions (ESS), SanDisk.

These models feature Write Through Logging (WTL) technology, a solution that delivers high performance at low queue depths to avoid volatility that would otherwise require battery back-up or supercapacitors for protection, claims the company.
