The third series was named “LS-25” where there are no SLC based products, only MLCs where the capacity ranges from 32GB to 128GB. The controller is the same as for the TS-25 family, but here the cache size has been reduced to 16 MB. The last series is called “100/125 Server One,” which is SandForce received a controller. The MLC members of the series will range from 50 to 400 GB, while the SLC members will be available in 50 and 100 GB packages. This series did not receive a cache.
