ECC Technologies

ECC Technologies, Inc. was founded and incorporated in 1990 to provide ECC (error correction) technology to electronic storage and communications industries worldwide, The company is located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, a suburb of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul.

We supply our customers with solutions not only to conventional error correction needs, but also to the challenging needs of high-speed, wide-bandwidth, fault-tolerant systems. These solutions can be in the form of hardware or software designs, all customizable to fit customer's applications. Other services we provide are assistance with error correction need analysis, assistance with testing, and support throughout the implementation of a design.

ECC Technologies pioneered byte-parallel Reed-Solomon error correction (PRS ECC) technology and was granted a patent on it May 19, 1998. The company also pioneered two PRS RAID schemes, RAID X and RAID Y, which are capable of emulating all other RAID schemes.

The company's founder, Mr. Philip E. White, has more than 20 years experience in successfully applying advanced coding theory concepts to the design of data storage and transmission products. He began his study of error correcting codes in 1973 and has consulted with or received instruction from key authorities in the world on the subject including Dr. Elwyn Berlekamp, Dr. Robert McEliece, Dr. R.T. Chien, Dr. Edward Weldon and Mr. Neal Glover. He has more than 25 years experience as an electronics design engineer in the research, advanced concepts and product development divisions of Control Data, Seagate, Unisys and Ciprico. He was the first person in the disk industry to implement a powerful Reed-Solomon error correcting code in a disk controller.

Squeak! - the Fastest Solid State Disks

Speed isn't everything, and it comes at a price.
But if you do need the speediest SSD then wading through the web sites of over 59 current SSD oems to find a suitable candidate slows you down.

And the SSD search problem will get even worse.
the Fastest Solid State Disks
I predict there will be over 100 SSD oems in 2008.

I've done the research for you to save you time. And this page is updated daily from storage news and direct inputs from oems. ...read the article,
