Who's
who in SSD?- by
Zsolt Kerekes,
editor
January 2012
Memoright shot to
high visibility in the international SSD market in
October 2007
they launched a range of 2.5" flash SSDs which were the
fastest in the
market at that time.
Shortly after that Memoright hit the #1 spot in
the top 10 SSD
companies list - in 2008 Q2.
But the company - which in those days
designed its own SSD
controllers - was unable to maintain its technical lead across the expanding
range of consumer, enterprise and embedded markets in which
2.5" SSDs were
being used.
Memoright's product lines today - include a mixture of
in-house designs (mostly for
military markets) and
designs which use
SandForce controllers
(for enterprise
and notebook
computing markets). |

In January 2008 -
Memoright announced
availability of 64GB and 128GB versions of its 2.5"
PATA /
SATA flash SSDs.
In
March 2008 -
Memoright launched a
faster family of 2.5" SATA flash SSD. The GT Series has upto 64GB
capacity and 120MB/s sustained read/write.
In March 2009 -
Memoright said it
will ship a new industrial grade 2.5" flash SSD range in May. The
rSSD (upto 128GB capacity) is designed to operate from -40 to +85 degrees C
and the company says its product testing processes satisfy MIL-STD-810F. R/W
speeds are both upto 120MB/s.
In April 2009 -
Memoright was listed
#3 in the 8th quarterly edition of the -
Top 10 SSD Companies
In
June 2009 - Memoright
was one of many SSD oems exhibiting at
Computex. The company says its
conformally coated Industrial
rSSD drew lots of interests from industrial and military users.
In
May 2010 -
Memoright's
President, Alex Kuo gave many interesting insights about his company in
an interview
with DIGITIMES. Among many other things - he said "It is worth noting
that many companies have plunged into the market for consumer PC- and
notebook-use SSDs. In such a crowded market, we would find it difficult to
sustain growth and profitability. I see many suppliers start up their SSD
businesses in a similar way to what they did for flash drives, which could
result in the market being flooded with me-too devices. I believe R&D,
product stability and brand awareness are the keys to a more sustainable
business."
He explained that's why his company is focusing on
rugged SSDs. "The market for military- and industrial-use SSDs is
relative small in terms of shipments compared to the market for consumer ones,
but it is where suppliers can make huge profits. There is a limited number of
suppliers capable of making ruggedized products for industrial and military
applications."
In July 2010 -
Memoright announced
a new authorized distributor for their SSDs in the US -
First Commercial
Technologies based in Beverly Hills, CA.
In November 2010 -
Memoright has
launched
its first range of MLC based SSDs - the
2.5"
FTM-25 range are SATA
2 compatible - and have upto 400GB capacity. From the performance figures
(50k / 30k R/W IOPS) I guess they use a
SandForce controller.
Memoright's newest SSDs have over-voltage protection and over-current
protection and their quality management system (evolved for military SSDs)
offers 100% traceability for every SSD.
In December 2010 - Memoright launched a
new range of
1.2"
SATA SSDs with secure
erase, 8,000 IOPS, 100/80MB/s R/W performance and upto 64GB capacity.
In
February 2011 - Memoright
unveiled a 2nd generation model its
2.5"
SATA SLC SSD family aimed at military and defense markets with -40 to +85
degrees operating temperature and DoD compliant
fast purge. The GTR
II - which uses the company's own design of
SSD controller - has a
regular RAM cache
architecture with internal supercaps - which the company says avoids spiky
performance. Capacity is upto 128GB, R/W speeds are 210MB/s, and R/W IOPS are
10,000/500 respectively
In January 2012 - Memorigh unveiled
new
7mm
ultrathin SATA 3 SSDs for the
notebook SSD
market |

| 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. |

| Fast Purge SSDs when
"Rugged"
won't do |
| The need for fast and
secure data erase - in which vital parts of a flash SSD or its data are
destroyed in seconds - has always been a requirement in military projects.
|
 |
Although many industrial
SSD vendors offer products with extended "rugged" operating
environment capabilities - and even
notebooks SSDs come
with encryption - it's the availability of fast data purge which
differentiates "truly secure" SSDs which can be deployed in
sensitive applications.
