New SM2322 controller supports the latest QLC NAND, providing
capacities up to 8TB with 20Gbps data transfer speed.
TAIPEI and MILPITAS,
Calif., May 29, 2024 /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 the SM2322, the
industry's fastest single-chip high-performance, low-power,
and cost-effective solution for external portable SSDs, supporting
up to 8TB of storage and achieves unparalleled data transfer
rates of 20Gbps for storing and accessing large amounts of content
seamlessly from AI smartphones, high-performance multimedia
devices, and game consoles.
With the increase of AI-capable devices, high density and
high-performance storage solutions are becoming more critical to
consumers. Portable SSDs powered by the new SM2322 controller are
the only solution that offers low-cost, high-density and
high-performance, making it the ideal solution for these
applications. Equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface with 20Gb/s
bandwidth and fully integrated hardware and software solution
delivering peak sequential read and write transfer speeds of
2,100MB/s and 2,000MB/s, respectively, with up to 8TB capacity,
SM2322 powered high-performance portable SSDs enable an
ultra-compact and lightweight form factor. The SM2322 supports the
ProRes format and MFi specification for iPhone users while also
being compatible with Windows®, Android OS ™, and macOS®, making it
an ideal high-density, high-performance portable storage solution
for AI smartphones, HD content creators, and gaming enthusiasts who
require high-density, high-performance portable storage.
By eliminating the USB bridge chip required in traditional
designs, the single-chip solution reduces both the Bill of
Materials (BOM) costs and power consumption. The new SM2322
upgrades external portable SSDs with higher performance and larger
capacity using Silicon Motion's proprietary NANDXtend® 4KB LDPC
error-correction technologies to improve the endurance and data
retention of 3D TLC/QLC NAND. It provides comprehensive data
integrity through SRAM ECC and end-to-end data path protection. In
addition, the SM2322 delivers the highest level of data security by
providing AES 256-bit encryption, fingerprint security, and full
compliance with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal
specification to meet the high-security standards.
"The proliferation of AI smartphones and handheld gaming devices
has exponentially increased the demand for managing large digital
video and photographic content," said Nelson Duann, Senior VP of Client &
Automotive Storage Business at Silicon Motion. "AI inference will
generate extensive data, making high-capacity storage even more
important. The new SM2322 now sets the bar even higher, introducing
enhancements to support the higher speed USB3.2 specifications and
providing greater capacity, catering to the needs of the AI era for
large-scale digital media content storage and access."
Numerous portable SSDs are already powered by Silicon Motion's
SM2320 are commercially available today from ADATA, Crucial, HP,
Kingston, Lexar, Transcend,
Xiaomi, Seagate LaCie, etc. The SM2322, the newest generation of
our highly successful portable SSD controller family, raises the
bar with exceptional performance and reliability, utilizing
advanced features and proven technology, making it a top choice for
new portable storage solutions.
The SM2322 is sampling to multiple customers now and will enter
mass production in mid-2024 . More information about SM2322
