TAIPEI and MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 31, 2021
/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 launched its new SM2320 single-chip high performance, lower
power and cost effective solution for external portable SSDs.
The new SM2320 controller solution is designed with integrated
hardware and firmware as well as high-level security features which
meet the needs of game console users requiring high performance and
the low power requirements of laptop users. The external portable SSD market is growing due
to the performance, low power consumption, reliability and
portability of such devices enabled by NAND memory. Customers
include Kingston Technology, which has designed SM2320 into its new
XS2000 external portable SSD, as well as other module and NAND
flash providers.
"Kingston is thrilled to
collaborate with SMI for the launch of our new pocket-sized XS2000
portable SSD," said Keith
Schimmenti, SSD Business Manager, Kingston. "Our Kingston engineers continue to
focus on improving the performance of our products and with the new
SM2320 controller, we are able to get XS2000 in the hands of our
customers and meet the high performance and high capacity demands
they need to keep up with the ever-evolving digital world."
Silicon Motion's unique SM2320 external portable SSD controller
solution features a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, advanced SSD
controller architecture and four NAND channels, and delivers
sequential read/write speeds up to 2,100 / 2,000 MB/s. By
eliminating a USB bridge chip typically required in other more
traditional designs, the SM2320 solution also lowers the Bill of
Material (BOM) cost and power consumption. The SM2320 controller
solution includes Silicon Motion's NANDXtend® ECC end-to-end data
path protection and supports up to 4TB of capacity using the
latest TLC and QLC NAND. Additionally, the SM2320 controller
solution supports the highest level of data security by providing
AES 256-bit encryption, full compliance with the Trusted Computing
Group (TCG) Opal specification and auxiliary Fingerprint Security
support.
"The market for high-performance external portable SSDs is
expected to grow due to the wide range of applications requiring
fast external storage such as gaming consoles and laptops used for
data intensive applications like image and video storage and
editing," said Stanley Huang, Senior
Director of SSD Storage Marketing at
Silicon Motion. "The best external portable SSDs are
not just delivering faster performance, but also offering lower
power, smaller size and lower cost. By eliminating the bridge
chip design, our new portable SSD controller solutions provide a
simpler, more cost-effective solution for this growing product
segment."
