An intelligent self-healing feature called provides complete, chip-level fault tolerance, which enables the drives to continue to function without interruption after a single- or a multi-chip failure.

The new SSDs are supported on all major operating systems, including all 64-bit Windows and Windows Server versions, Mac OSX 10.6.7/10.7, RHEL 4/5/6, SLES 10/11, OEL v5/6, VMware ESX 4.0/4.1/ESXi 4.1/5.0, Solaris 10 U8/U9 and and HP-UX 11i.
