Link_A_Media Devices was founded in March 2004 with a vision to
develop custom, integrated system solutions on a chip for linking digital
information within and across different media devices. Link_A_Media Devices is a
leader in data recovery
and data storage technologies. Its technologies in complex, mixed-signal
processing and iterative error correction coding are capable of delivering the
highest areal densities and yields, while reducing system power consumption.
These advantages enable HDD
and solid-state OEM’s
to more effectively leverage their investments in media and sensor (head)
technologies.

- editor's note:- in April 2008 - Link_A_Media secured $22 million in Series
B financing.
Its
error correction technology could improve yields and
data reliability in
HDDs and SSDs.
Another side effect of their technology may be better
performance in
flash SSDs.

says their IOP Buster architecture enables scalability within the controller to
address various segments of SSD applications seamlessly. It enables faster Read
and Write transfers to achieve prescribed IOP requirements |

This is a follow up
article (published in March 2008) to the popular
SSD Myths and
Legends which, a year earlier demolished the myth that flash memory
wear-out (a comfort blanket beloved by many
RAM SSD makers)
precluded the use of flash in heavy duty datacenters.
This new
article looks at the risks posed by MLC Nand Flash SSDs which have recently
hatched from their breeeding ground as chip modules in cellphones and morphed
into
hard disk form

It starts down a familiar
lane but an unexpected technology twist (which arrived in my email while
writing this article) takes you to a startling new world of possibilities.
