The products earning the recognition for the relentless pursuit of progress and the profound impact that OCP’s community-driven innovation can achieve include:
Phison’s Pascari TLC High Performance Series X200:
- Phison’s Pascari X200 supports diverse requirements in a single series. It delivers both single port and dual-port modes while shipping in U.2 and E3.S form factors to give data centers reliable and predictable performance that exceeds industry standards.
- The performance X-Series features rich PCIe Gen5 enterprise storage solutions up to 32TB capacity, with Gen5 speeds and endurance up to 3 DWPD.
Phison’s Pascari D200V is its newest QLC high-capacity, read-intensive enterprise SSD
- The D200V, is a read-intensive data center SSD that achieves up to 64TB capacity, currently the highest capacity in the OCP Marketplace, making it the best alternative to traditional cold storage solutions (HDDs). The 64TB capacity will be generally available to customers in Q1 2025.
- Built with a PCIe Gen5 interface and paired with the industry’s latest 3D NAND technology, Phison’s Pascari D200V delivers performance up to 14,000 MB/s (sequential read) and 3,000K IOPS (random read). In an era of exponential data growth, the D200V will help drive the trend of efficient data storage with improved space utilization and reduced power consumption.
The OCP Inspired™ recognition for Pascari D200V QLC and X200 TLC SSD drives demonstrates the enterprise market demand for trusted, credible products. With the launch of Pascari and the OCP Marketplace listing, enterprises are provided options alongside other OCP recognized vendors to meet their unique performance and density requirements, which offer value for data center networking and edge infrastructure applications.
