who's who in SSD? - M-Systems

by Zsolt Kerekes, editor

For a company which hasn't been around since 2006, M-Systems left deep footprints.

In the period 2000 to 2006 the company was an innovative evangelist for the use of high capacity fast flash storage drives in markets outside the traditional military and rugged industrial markets which were its roots. It had notable achievements in securing design wins in most tier 1 mobile phone companies for its DiskOnChip products for example.

But it also pursued applications in the enterprise server market - achieving "Solaris Ready" certification from Sun Microsystems in 2003 for its 3.5" Ultra-Wide SCSI flash SSDs.

M-Systems was also an early pioneer in the integration of controller technology with flash to develop competitive MLC flash SSDs.

M-Systems advertised here on STORAGEsearch.com from April 2004 to February 2006.
