- editor's comments:- in July 2009 -
IDT
announced
it was working with Micron
to develop a commercial PCIe flash SSD for the server market.
Micron
had previously tested market reaction by unveiling a prototype PCIe SSD (with
800MB/s R/W speeds) in
November 2008.
“The existing IDT portfolio of memory interface products, PCIe
bridges, switches and timing solutions with integrated Power Smart technology
delivers industry leading performance and reliability to enterprise class
customers today,” said Mario Montana, VP of the IDT Enterprise Computing
Division. “Our alliance with Micron, together with their enterprise flash
products will, in the future, supply the industry with
PCIe-based solid-state
drive solutions with unparalleled performance and reliability.”

| OEMs Race
to Design Their Own SSDs.......... |
Editor:- StorageSearch.com disclosed
that - in the 2nd quarter of 2009 - search volume for
SSD SoCs (systems on a
chip and controllers) has overtaken
1" SSDs (includes
miniature SSD modules) for the first time.
Guess that confirms my
sneaking suspicion that a lot of oems want to design their own SSDs. It used to
be very difficult for manufacturers to do this, but it's gotten
a lot easier
recently.
Although SSD architecture is more complex than
RAID systems - what's
happening today in the SSD market is similar to the emergence of
RAID controller
companies in early days of the RAID market. (And that's one of the reasons I
chose the same icon for this subject BTW.)
Nearly 20 companies selling
SSD controller technology and IP are listed in our directory.
In 5
years' time - designing application specific SSDs for common applications will
be as easy as designing a NAS
box is today. |
