Innodisk
iAnalyzer Tracks SSD Read/Write Behavior to Maximize System Service
Life and Performance
New
tool features detailed data recording and analysis for optimized flash
solutions
July
17, 2014, Taipei, Taiwan – Innodisk
the service-based flash provider, announces iAnalyzer - an easy
to use
storage analysis tool for customers using or considering SSD products.
iAnalyzer records read/write behavior of a SSD in real-time,
categorizing these operations as either sequential or random I/O, as
well as segmenting by the size of the operation.
iAnalyzer lets users base their storage decisions on real data,
tracking their system’s actual storage needs instead of working off
assumptions or hypotheticals. The level of detail that iAnalyzer
provides, lets customers predict drive failures before they happen and
select the right SSD to maximize service life for their needs.
Deep
Data
iAnalyzer presents a deep level of detailed information on your systems
storage behavior, showing distribution of reads versus writes, whether
they’re sequential or random access, and sorting by the size of the
operation. Through easy-to-read pie charts and figures, users can
instantly visualize their application’s key I/O behavior.
Flash
Challenges
iAnalyzer provides users with the data to help them choose the right
flavor of flash for their needs. While lower grade consumer MLC or TLC
flash can only be written to(programmed) less than 1,000 cycles,
industrial grade MLC can be written from 1,500 to 3,000 cycles, and
high end SLC flash performs for 60,000 to 100,000 cycles. Although SLC
is the premium flash product, its cost isn’t justified for every
application. Through iAnalyzer, customers can select the right type of
flash to meet their system needs while satisfying their bottom line.
Tailored
Solution
iAnalyzer data doesn’t just help customers directly, but also means
tailored SSDs are possible. With its in-house firmware team, Innodisk
can optimize SSDs to specific iAnalyzer profiles, giving the best
endurance, performance and service life for the price.
iAnalyzer is a powerful feature for collecting, analyzing and
displaying storage data in Innodisk’s iSMART utility. Through
iAnalyzer, customers can easily capture their application’s I/O
behavior. This real-time data collection provides deep insight into the
user’s application, and aids them in optimizing the best storage
solution for their system. Innodisk iAnalyzer is able to work on a wide
variety of embedded systems, including industrial, medical,
transportation, automation, and gaming industries. Innodisk iAnalyzer
