  • editor's comments:- from SSD market history.

    Mtron burst onto the SSD market in February 2007 - when - amid competing claims from various other oems Mtron launched the fastest 2.5" PATA SSD - with 80MB/s sustained write.

    In the same month they placed their first ads here on StorageSearch.com. Mtron advertised here on the mouse site for 15 months and were so successful at attracting oem partners and industry recognition that they didn't need to do any more for a long while. (Although we hope that may change one day.)

    In May 2008 - Toshiba acquired approximately $30 million of shares in Mtron.

    In June 2008 - Mtron said it will supply SSDs to Hynix.

    Also in June 2008 - Mtron unveiled details of its new 8 channel controller technology which the company says will enable R/W throughput upto 260/240MB/s and 8,000 random write IOPS (using 4KB blocks) in flash SSD products shipping in Q1 2009.

    In April 2009 - Mtron was listed #4 in the 8th quarterly edition of the - Top 10 SSD Companies

    You may be surprised by how many manufacturers oem Mtron's SSDs. A new article published this month - 3 Easy Ways to Enter the SSD Market - includes that info and a lot more besides.

    In June 2009 - Mtron was featured in a new article which looked at the most popular products on StorageSearch.com in recent years.

    November 2009 - I see that Mtron has published a useful company history on its own web site.

    One of the funny things for me (looking back on the early days of the company) was that - at the start of their advertising period here on StorageSearch.com - the marketers in Mtron were still deciding what the SSD would look like on the outside - so for a short period the ad didn't have a picture - just a blank white space with a note saying "image not yet available."

    But such was the market hunger for fast products - the datasheet became popular even without a photo.
