TAIPEI and MILPITAS, Calif., Nov.
17, 2020 /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 the SM8266, a complete
enterprise-grade 16-channel PCIe 4.0 NVMe hardware plus firmware
turnkey SSD controller solution. Customers can rapidly
develop and bring to market enterprise SSDs for data centers by
using our complete development platform that includes a turnkey
NVMe firmware stack and hardware reference design kit.

"Our solution is the only complete PCIe Gen4 turnkey solution
available today from an established merchant controller supplier,"
said Nelson Duann, Silicon Motion's
Senior Vice President of Marketing and R&D. "Since the
introduction of our PCIe Gen3 turnkey solution, we have established
a longer track record of supplying turnkey solutions in terms of
customer adoption and sale volume than any other company. Our
Shannon Systems team is already custom designing enterprise-grade
NVMe, Open-Channel and Key-Value SSDs using SM8266 for hyperscale
customers' data centers with production expected in 2021."
Advanced turnkey enterprise SSD controller solution
The SM8266 controller solution features Silicon Motion's
state-of-the-art firmware and hardware technology to provide
consistent, low latency QoS domains. Offering capacity up to
16TB with 16 NAND flash channels, the SM8266 is designed to support
the latest 3D TLC and QLC NAND flash technologies. To ensure
enterprise level reliability, data integrity and retention at PCIe
Gen4 performance, the SM8266 is equipped with Silicon Motion's
proprietary technologies including:
- 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 data integrity as data is transmitted between
the host and the SSD, and between buffer memories and NAND
flash.
- Power loss protection, which eliminates the risk of data loss
in the event of an unexpected power outage.
Other features of SM8266 include:
- High performance PCIe Gen4 x4 & NVMe 1.4 compliance
- Turnkey stacks enable standard NVMe SSD as well as proprietary
Open-Channel and Key-Value SSD implementations
- Support for up to 16TB of physical NAND capacity
- Low and consistent latency enabled by physical and logical
isolation
- Ultra-high sequential read performance of up to 6.5GB/s and
950K sustained random read IOPS
- Data security with AES 256-bit hardware supporting SED, Secure
Boot and TCG Opal
Silicon Motion will showcase SM8266 at SC Virtual from
November 17 to 19.
