In May
2002 - AMD announced it was sampling the company's first MirrorBit™
Flash memory device - in which data is stored in 2 discrete and independent
locations. By physically separating each bit and maintaining its individual
integrity, AMD's
MirrorBit devices are inherently more stable and reliable than competing MLC
devices and are designed to deliver
endurance of
at least 100,000 program/erase cycles and 20 years of data retention at 125
degrees Centigrade.
In July 2003 -
Spansion was founded
as a joint venture by AMD and Fujitsu.
In September 2012 -
Dataram
announced
it will develop a version of its RAMDisk software which will be rebranded
by AMD in Q4 under the name of Radeon
RAMDisk and aimed at gamers in the Windows market.
In May 2016 - AMD
entered the M.2 SSD market
with a consumer market
oriented banded product line. |

Compared to earlier phases
in the SSD market more is changing.
memories (We used to be able to
write down a list of those which mattered. Now we're seeing many new strangers
from strange lands. Even I can't remember who they all are and how to spell
their names.)
controllers (Let's not even get started on this
subject.)
firmware (Shouldn't this be grouped with controllers? If only it were
that simple.)
