- editor's comments:- Symwave's
products include chip level designs for
USB 3.0 and
FireWire.
In
November 2009 -Symwave
announced
that its USB 3.0
controller has been designed into a new
flash SSD by
OCZ - which will be shown
at CES in January 2010.
Symwave’s
controller design includes a fully integrated USB 3.0 to
SATA controller
device (SoC with software) - making it easier to modify existing designs for
SATA SSDs. It's very fast. In September 2009 - Symwave demonstrated
270MB/s
R/W throughput for its new USB 3.0 controller.
Lots of companies
have already announced USB 3.0 devices -
although most won't ship till the new year. |
