NUREMBERG, Germany, March 14,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion Technology
Corporation (NASDAQ: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a global leader in
designing and marketing NAND flash controllers and solid-state
storage devices, today announced that it has extended its popular
family of SATA 6Gb/s FerriSSD® Industrial BGA SSDs to
support the latest 3D NAND with end-to-end data path protection,
NANDXtend™ ECC, and IntelligentScan™ feature - delivering
unsurpassed data reliability for embedded storage applications.
The new FerriSSD products offer flexible data capacity
options up to 256GB and feature proprietary data protection
technologies that eliminate drive downtime and extend the service
life of these SSDs. FerriSSD products offer customized solutions
for various end-market demands and are optimized to meet the
specific needs of the customer.
Silicon Motion's proprietary data protection capabilities
address the increasing concerns with SSD data reliability in
demanding industrial, hyperscale server and automotive
applications. FerriSSD data integrity features include:
- End-to-end data path protection, which detects and
corrects any error that might occur in the data path between the
host and the NAND array. This is accomplished through the
application of full ECC protection to the SSD's SRAM and DRAM
buffers as well as to the primary NAND Flash memory array.
- NANDXtend technology incorporating a new
high-performance LDPC Error Correction Code (ECC) engine and a
unique Group Page RAID function, which allows the SSD to recover
from sudden NAND cell defects and bit errors induced by
high-temperature operation environments or from general
data-retention failures.
- IntelligentScan, which proactively protects data against
potential data loss at high operating temperatures or read
disturbance from intensive host read operations. This
prevention measure is achieved by self-adjusting the scan frequency
when the SSD runs hot and by refreshing sectors of the memory array
that are at risk before any data is lost.
"3D NAND-based FerriSSDs will usher in a new generation of
cost-effective embedded memory solutions with uncompromising
reliability and performance to meet the increasing capabilities and
capacity requirements for today's industrial, computing and
automotive markets," said Nelson
Duann, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing at Silicon
Motion. "Our FerriSSD embedded memory solutions are customized to
meet the wide range of end-market requirements and are optimized
for the specific needs of our customers."
The new 3D NAND FerriSSD products are on display at the Silicon
Motion stand 1.228 at the Embedded World exhibition (Nuremberg, March 14-16,
2017).
