- editor's comments:- November 2009 -
BiTMICRO was a true
pioneer in the high performance flash SSD market with a very diverse SSD
product range. But in more recent years - as ASPs in the
1.8",
2.5" and
3.5" SSD markets
have shrunk, and competitors have multiplied - the company has reined in its
product aspirations to avoid going head to head with consumer focused SSD oems.
Instead BiTMICRO appears to have focused its efforts on high density,
high performance, SLC SSDs for use in the
military and
enterprise server markets. It still has a strong offering in the embedded
FC SSD market - although
that segment is being displaced in new server designs by
PCIe SSDs.
In
October 2004
- BiTMICRO shipped the
E-Disk 3S320D - the world's 1st Ultra320 SCSI flash SSD with 42µsec
access time and upto 12,500 IOPS. Sustained R/W rate was upto 68MB/s and burst
R/W rate was 320MB/s. Operating temperature was from -40 to +85°C.
In
November 2007 -
BiTMICRO announced
plans to sample a terabyte class 3.5" flash SSD in Q108. With 1.6TB
capacity and a 4Gbps Fibre
Channel interface - it will deliver sustained throughput more than 230MBps
and upwards of 55,000 IOPS. ...Later:- BiTMICRO announced the 1st customer
shipments of this much anticipated product line in November 2008.
In
March 2009 - BiTMICRO's CEO -

with readers of
StorageSearch.com
InApril
2009 - BiTMICRO dropped out of our quarterly feature -
the Top 10 SSD Companies.
For the period Q1 2009 - it was ranked #13.
That's unusual
because it's the 1st time BiTMICRO has not been in the top 10. In some past
quarters BiTMICRO was ranked #1 (in
Q407 and
Q108). And before
that - in Q4 2004 -BiTMICRO was the #1 best known SSD brand in the world's
first SSD Buyer
Preferences Survey. Over 112 market active SSD oems were tracked in the
most recent Q1 2009 report. Comebacks have happened before for other SSD oems.
We'll have to wait and see. |
