How Good SSD Controllers Manage Flash Data Integrity April 3, 2009 - SNIA has published a new white paper - “NAND Flash Solid State Storage for the Enterprise - an in-depth Look at Reliability.” (pdf) It's co-authored by:- Jonathan Thatcher Fusion-io, Tom Coughlin Coughlin Associates, Jim Handy Objective Analysis and Neal Ekker Texas Memory Systems. The article contains the best integrated explanation I've seen of the design trade-offs for error c..
SiS stellt ersten eigenen SSD Controller vor By Desti at 2009-02-28 01:27 SiS, die etwas versteckt immer noch im Chipsatz Geschäft tätig sind, wollen auch bei Controllern dabei bleiben. Als Ergänzung für SATA Controller fürs Mainboard kommen jetzt die LVT820 und LVT815 SSD Memory Controller. Neben der reinen Ansteuerung der Flash-Chips und dem SATA Interface kann auch ein DRAM Chip als Cache hinzugefügt werden. Der LVT820 unterstützt 8 par..
OCZ Vertex SSD Uses Indilinx Controller 16/02/2009 When OCZ first announced their Vertex line of SSDs as a premium MLC-based offering, the question that was surely on many people's minds was what SSD controller it used. Early MLC-based SSDs utilized the faulty JMicron JMF602 controller, causing them to suffer from horrendous random write speeds and latencies. Well now we have confirmation that the Vertex series will be using a differe..

An SiS SSD controler SiS has announced that its subsidiary has developped two controlers designed for SSDs, the LVT820 and 815. SATA II standard, they can address MLC or SLC Flash NAND chips, on 8 channels for the 820 version and 4 for the 815. One good point is that they support external DRAM memory designed to serve as cache memory during writing, something that is currently missing from entry level SSDs. The firs..
