Hitachi will be marketing SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and FC (Fibre Channel) SSDs with Intel’s SSD memory chip technology under the Hitachi brand.
Hitachi is emphasizing the complimentarity between HDDs and SSDs, with SSDs much more economical and processing more I/Os per second. The first SSDs to come from the partnership will be out in 2010.
