TAIPEI, June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion
Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a
global leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers for
solid state storage devices, today announced that its SM2256 SATA
(6Gb/s) client SSD controller now supports Micron's new 16nm 128
gigabit (Gb) TLC NAND flash, enabling high-performance and
unprecedented reliability for a new class of cost-effective
TLC-based SSDs.
SM2256, the world's first SSD controller supporting Micron's
16nm TLC NAND, offers the best performance and cost-optimized four
channel SATA 6Gb/s client SSD controller in the market. Using
Micron's 128Gb 16nm TLC NAND, the SM2256 delivers up to 540MB/s
sequential read performance and 460MB/s sequential write, as well
as up to 90,000 random read IOPS and 80,000 random write
IOPS. Leveraging Silicon Motion's proprietary NANDXtend™
error-correcting code (ECC) technology, the SM2256 enhances the
endurance and retention of TLC NAND, delivering more than three
times better reliability for TLC SSD as compared to the existing
BCH ECC schemes.
"Solid state controller technology is critical to any storage
solution," said Eric Endebrock, VP
of marketing for Micron's storage business. "Micron values Silicon
Motion's leadership and collaboration in helping drive the
revolution of flash storage to an ever-broadening set of
applications."
"Our SM2256 solution coupled with Micron's 16nm TLC NAND
delivers the most advanced, cost-effective and reliable SSDs in the
market," said Nelson Duann, VP of Product Marketing for
Silicon Motion. "Our customers can offer a new class of
no-compromise, cost-effective SSDs that leverage the strengths of
NAND technology advancements at affordable prices."
Key features for SM2256 with Micron 128Gb 16nm TLC NAND solution
include:
- Proprietary NANDXtend™ error-correcting and data protection
with LDPC and page RAID technologies
- Supports ONFI 3.x, Toggle 2.0 and asynchronous NAND
- Ultra high performance
- Sequential Read: 540MB/s
- Sequential Write: 460MB/s
- 4K Random Read IOPS (QD32): 90,000
- 4K Random Write IOPS (QD32): 80,000
- Ideally suited for client SSDs targeting ultrabooks, laptops,
tablets and HDD replacement
- Incorporates the latest security protocols and is AES 256,
Trusted Computing Group (TCG) and Opal full-drive encryption
compliant
- Supports both commercial (0 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius) and industrial grade (-40
degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius) requirements
