Who's who in SSD? - by
Zsolt Kerekes,
editor - February 2012
Greenliant Systems is 1 of 35 companies
in our tiny SSDs list,
and 1 of 30 companies in the
SSD controllers
directory. Greenliant is also 1 of more than 100 companies in these vendor
lists - SATA SSDs,
PATA SSDs,
industrial SSDs
and fast erase SSDs.
Greenliant
was founded in
April
2010 - by former SST
chairman and CEO, Bing Yeh and uses NAND controller technology acquired
from his old company.
Greenliant's technology focus is low power
miniature SSDs for embedded
apps. |

In November 2010 -
Greenliant Systems
began
sampling SATA
compatible variants of its
NANDrive
GLS85LS which have upto 64GB capacity in a 14mm x 24mm x 1.85mm 145
BGA. Active-mode power consumption as low as 500mW and a deep power-down mode
can reduce this to 10mW. The SSDs have content protection zones and designers
can select areas of the storage to protect with
fast erase.
In
February 2012 - Greenliant
Systems has
started
volume shipments of its industrial grade rugged SATA SLC
SSDs on a chip (BGA -
14mm x 24mm x 1.95mm) -
NANDrive
GLS85LS - which have upto 8GB capacity, 70/60MB/s R/W, include zoneable
password security and
fast erase, and
strong power fail data
protection. |

fastest SSD or the lowest power SSD are both difficult design tasks. And in some
ways the "lowest power" design is harder to achieve..." |

| Surviving SSD
sudden power loss |
Why should you care
what happens in an SSD when the power goes down?
This important design
feature - which barely rates a mention in most SSD datasheets and press releases
- has a strong impact on
SSD data integrity
and operational
reliability.
This article will help you understand why some
SSDs which (work perfectly well in one type of application) might fail in
others... even when the changes in the operational environment appear to be
negligible. |
