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. |
