  • editor's comments:- MOSAID designs SSD SoC / IP technology - which can be used by oems to design SSDs. Their market focus seems to be towards the "fastest" end of the flash SSD spectrum. For example their HyperLink technology could enable SSD oems to design faster upgradable PCIe SSDs

    In May 2007 - MOSAID announced its architecture (available for license) could deliver 800M bytes/ second sustained throughput on flash SSDs using today's technology.

    In July 2009 - MOSAID published a white paper - Implementing Storage Class Memory with HLNAND (pdf) - which describes how their HyperLink technology can achieve 1GB/s R and W throughput in a terabyte flash array occupying only 60cm2 of motherboard. It also provides the flexibility for the oem to populate the module with more memory after soldering. This tool might be useful for designers of PCIe or InfiniBand class SSD accelerators.

2010 - 1st Fizzings in the SSD Bubble
Can you realistically sample the benefits
of heady new SSD-powered apps and
avoid the risk of painful hangovers?
.
There are hundreds of articles about SSDs on StorageSearch.com
Here, below, are some examples.
  • RAM Cache Ratios in flash SSDs - it's important to know the underlying RAM cache architecture - even if you're happy with the R/W and IOPS performance.
  • 2010 - 1st Fizz in the SSD Bubble? - even the dogs in the street know this is going to be a multibillion dollar market. Greed will play as big a part as technology in shaping the SSD year ahead.
  • the pros and cons of using SSD ASAPs - auto tuning SSD appliances are a new category of SSD which entered the market in the 2nd half of 2009 to accelerate servers without needing human tune-ups. How can you tell if they are right for you? And how well do they work?
  • the Problem with Write IOPS - in flash SSDs - long established as a useful performance modeling metric - this article explains why some specs are exaggerated when applied to flash SSDs - or predict the wrong results for many common applications.
