After speaking with David Szabados with Seagate Enterprise it seems that Seagate has chosen to wait and ensure that initial problems with early models, such as the write table fragmentation, have been addressed and viable solutions in place before releasing an SSD offering. Since Seagate will cater to the Enterprise market first they also needed to ensure that there were standards in place for performance, reliability, endurance to ensure that their enterprise customers were getting a reliable product.
Seagate SSD for servers to arrive later this year
