Eonsil, headquarted in Austin, Texas has assembled a team of
highly experience professionals to develop the next generation intellectual
property.
- editor's comments:- April 2011 - among other things Eonsil is
developing a small form factor external SSD for the Mac market - called the
Thunderbolt SSD - which the company says will deliver 1GB/s throughput.

mentions in SSD
market history
In October 2008 - Eonsil announced
the introduction of
RaySpeed,
a suite of IP for Nand Flash devices. It also offers an
SSD
prototype kit.
"RaySpeed family is several generations ahead
of any existing flash controller IP", said Khursheed Hassan, CEO of
Eonsil. Rayspeed's HDL controller IP along with accompanying software enables
rapid prototyping and integration of world class flash controller into existing
ASIC and FPGA flows.

| the Problem with
Write IOPS in flash SSDs |
the "play it again Sam"
syndrome
Flash SSD "random write IOPS" are now similar
to "read IOPS" in many of the
fastest SSDs.
So
why are they such a poor predictor of application performance?
And
why are users still buying
RAM SSDs which cost an
order of magnitude more than SLC? (let alone
MLC) - even
when the IOPS specs look similar. |

This article tells you
why the specs got faster - but the applications didn't. And why competing SSDs
with apparently identical benchmark results can perform completely
differently. ...read

| the 3 fastest PCIe
SSDs? |
Are you trying to shortlist flash SSD accelerators according to
comparative benchmark tests?
If so a new article -
the 3 fastest PCIe
SSDs list (or is it really lists?) may help to take some of the
pressure off you. Hmm... you may be thinking that StorageSearch's editor never
gives easy answers to SSD questions if more complicated ones are available.

But in this case you'd be
wrong. (I didn't say you'd like the answers, though.) ...read the article | | | |
