SAN JOSE, Calif., March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion
Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a
global leader in NAND Flash controllers and solid-state storage
devices, today released the SM2271, a new SSD controller ASIC with
a turnkey firmware stack which enables customers to accelerate the
development of high-performance enterprise SATA SSDs with a maximum
capacity of 16TB.
The SM2271 is a high-performance, 8-channel enterprise SATA SSD
controller solution which supports the latest 3D TLC and QLC Flash
technologies. It exploits the full potential of the SATA interface,
achieving a maximum Sequential Read speed of 540 MB/s and
Sequential Write speed of 520 MB/s.
The SM2271 combines enterprise-level endurance, support for high
SSD capacity, and high performance for Read-intensive workloads
while enabling users to maintain their existing SATA storage
infrastructure for a low total cost of ownership. Providing more
consistent latency than client SSDs for more reliable data Write
and Read operation, the SM2271 is the ideal platform for new SATA
SSD designs intended to replace lower-performance HDDs in
enterprise storage, data center and industrial storage systems.
Sophisticated physical Flash media management and data integrity
functions in the SM2271 ensure that the SSD performs reliably and
has a long operating lifetime. Data integrity is safeguarded by
end-to-end data path protection and advanced data handling
firmware/software. Silicon Motion's 6th generation
proprietary NANDXtend® technology, which integrates error recovery
functionality with a machine learning algorithm, prolongs data
retention to improve QoS during life time.
Data security is safeguarded by the provision of AES 256-bit
encryption, secure boot, and full compliance with the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) Opal specification.
"The SM2271 is Silicon Motion's
latest enterprise SSD controller, enabling customers to get to
market quickly with new 16TB, high performance SATA SSDs that
feature 3D TLC or QLC Flash from any of the major NAND Flash
manufacturers," said Nelson S.
Duann, Senior Vice President of Marketing and R&D at
Silicon Motion. "It incorporates
our latest enterprise innovations including our 6th
generation NANDXtend® technology for data retention extension,
end-to-end data protection and comprehensive security while
providing the industry's best QoS consistency."
Silicon Motion provides a complete SSD reference design kit that
includes turnkey FW minimizing development time and
investment. Features include:
- Support latest 3D TLC/QLC; up to 16TB Capacity
- Consistent IOPs and predictable QoS latency
- End-to-end data protection SRAM/DRAM ECC
- Data retention extension with NANDXtend
- Self-encrypting drive (SED) with AES-256 and TCG Opal
- Secure Boot Support
The SM2271 controller, turnkey firmware and reference design is
currently being sampled to key partners and is on display in the
Silicon Motion private meeting room at the 2019 OCP Global Summit
in San Jose, California on March
14.
