Indilinx was founded in 2006 by flash memory pioneers who
helped launch Samsung's enormously successful NAND flash memory business.
Indilinx members were responsible for starting and overseeing Samsung's NAND
flash software development center and its NAND flash product planning team, as
well as leading the development and launch of Samsung's first solid state drive
products, paving the way for a NAND flash revolution.
Indilinx
products and solutions comprise advanced solid state drive controllers, SSD
reference designs, and software, which enable the rapid development and
deployment of high performance solid state drives. Indilinx's technology powers
a wide range of storage solutions, from cost-sensitive consumer devices to
performance-optimized systems demanded by mission-critical enterprise
applications. Indilinx is headquartered in San Jose, California in Silicon
Valley and the company's primary R&D center is located in Bundang, South
Korea. For more information, please visit: http://www.indilinx.com

In August 2008 - Indilinx unveiled
its Barefoot SSD controller with 230MB/s read speed and 20,000 IOPS. Indilinx
and MOSAID co-presented their strategic cooperation in the development of
high-performing SSD controllers for the next generation DDR type flash memory.
The SATA 3 interface will provide 600MB/s.
In October 2009 -
a
report
in behardware.com said Indilinx's SATA 3 SSD SoC may not ship till
2011 - a year later than originally planned.
In June 2010 -
Indilinx
announced
it was supplying SSD
controllers for use in a hybrid storage module - called the HyDrive -
designed by Hitachi-LG
Data Storage - which includes a 32GB flash SSD integrated with a Blu-ray
optical drive.
In
March 2011 - OCZ
announced it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire
Indilinx for for
approximately $32 million of OCZ common stock.
In September 2011
- OCZ
announced it
is supplying custom 7.5mm high 128GB SATA SSDs which use its Indilinx
Everest SSD controller to LG for use in its in
LGP220
ultra-thin notebooks. |

| How big was the
thinking in this SSD's design? |
Does size really does matter in SSD
design?
By that I mean how big was the mental map? - not how many
inches wide is the SSD.
The novel and the short story both have their
place in literature and the pages look exactly the same. But you know from
experience which works best in different situations and why.
When
it comes to SSDs - Big versus Small SSD architecture - is something which was
in the designer's mind. Even if they didn't think about it that way at the time.

| Bad block
management in flash SSDs |
This is an introduction to the thinking behind
one of the many vital functions inside a flash
SSD controller.
Native
media defect quality in new flash memory chips has grown steadily worse in the
past 10 years as geometries have shrunk. |

This article enumerates
the scale of the problem and explains how intrinsically dodgy flash memory
is transformed into dependable flash SSDs which you can entrust with your data.
