SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Aug. 7, 2018 /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 released the SM2270, a complete
PCIe NVMe SSD controller solution which offers high performance,
high capacity, high reliability and low latency SSD storage for
enterprise and data center applications.
The dual-mode SM2270 is a complete SSD controller solution with
customer specific or turnkey firmware that can support Open Channel
storage implementations as well as standard NVMe protocols. In
either mode, the SM2270 management technology enables ultra-high
performance, guaranteed low latency, and more efficient use of
storage capacity in high density, multi-tenant data center
applications.
The controller specifications include:
- PCIe Gen 3 x 8 lanes, supporting standard NVMe 1.3
protocols
- Support Open Channel implementations such as the Microsoft
Denali pre-standard
- 16 NAND flash channels and SSD capacity up to 16TB
- Powerful triple dual-core Arm® Cortex®-R5-based architecture
for high data throughput
- Up to 800,000 IOPS in 4KB random read operation
- Support the latest 3D NAND, including 96-layer TLC and QLC
flash, from all major NAND manufacturers.
In addition, the SM2270 ensures reliable, long-term data storage
and retrieval, even in extreme operating conditions by
incorporating advanced NAND monitoring and protection technologies
including:
- Power Loss Protection, which eliminates the risk of data loss
in the event of an unexpected power outage.
- The 6th generation NANDXtend™ technology, which
incorporates machine learning algorithms supporting Silicon
Motion's proprietary high-performance LDPC error correction code
(ECC) engine with RAID, ensuring better data integrity even in
extreme operating environments.
- End-to-end data path protection, which applies ECC to the SSD's
SRAM and DRAM buffers as well as to the primary NAND flash memory
array. This maintains the integrity of every bit of data as it is
transmitted between the host and the SSD, and between buffer
memories and NAND flash.
"The SM2270 is the world's first PCIe SSD controller that
supports standard NVMe and Open Channel technology to be available
in production. It draws on Silicon Motion's leadership position in
flash controller technology and unrivaled knowledge of the data
center SSD storage systems," said Wallace
C. Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. "This
combination makes the SM2270 the ideal controller in SSDs for
demanding cloud server and data center applications."
The SM2270 is available and in production now. It will be on
display at the Silicon Motion booth #413 at the Flash Memory Summit
(Santa Clara, California, USA,
7-9 August 2018).
