Who's who in SSD?- by
Zsolt Kerekes,
editor
January 2012 - pureSilicon is one of more than
100 companies in the 2.5"
SSD market. It's also one of many companies in the
SATA SSD,
military SSD and
industrial SSD
lists. The company has been shipping SSDs since
2008 and
earned the distinction of being the first oem to ship a terabyte SSD in a
regular height 2.5" form factor in
2009.
Are
you looking for an alternative supplier to pureSilicon? With so many similar
companies in the 2.5" SSD market - it's difficult to single out direct
competitors - but if I had to choose one - it would be
SMART. |

In October 2008 - pureSilicon
emerged from stealth mode and said it is sampling the Renegade SSD - a rugged
MIL-STD-810F compliant 128GB SATA flash SSD with integrated
encryption.
In
January 2009 - pureSilicon
said it is sampling the highest density
2.5" SSD - with
1TB capacity in a 9.5mm high form factor. Sustained read / write performance is
240MB/s and 215MB/s respectively. The
SATA SSD has latency
under 100 µsec and is rated at 50,000 read IOPS, and 10,000 write IOPS.
I asked if compression was involved in achieving the capacity - but was told -
no. Internally it's got 128 pieces of 64Gb MLC NAND.
In October
2009 - pureSilicon
announced shipments for its Renegade R2 Series 2.5" SATA SLC flash
SSDs. Sequential R/W speeds are 255MB/s and 180MB/s respectively. IOPS
performance is:- 18,000 IOPS random read: (4K) and 1,200 IOPS random write.
Capacities upto 128GB in a low profile (9.5mm height)
2.5" form factor
and -40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
In January
2012 pureSilicon
launched a 1.6TB
usable
(2TB raw) 2.5" SATA eMLC SSD. The Nitro
N2 has average latency under 100 micro-seconds, R/W speeds upto 540/520 MB/s
and upto 130k random
IOPS. |
