MLC SSD Controllers This week I was planning to write once again about the gPhone, but instead have decided to revisit the subject of MLC solid state drives (SSDs) and in particular MLC controllers for SSDs. On 8 November, an interesting SanDisk controller patent application showed up and I decided to take the time to look at it more closely. In addition, a friend forwarded me a copy of a Bear Stearns’ flash report..
TDK Announces GBDriver HS1 Solid State Drive Controller for SSD in Laptop PCs and Industrial System Hardware May 31st, 2008, by pur, in Embedded Computer, Memory, Microcontroller & Microprocessor SSDs that use NAND flash memory are employed in industrial system hardware and laptop PCs. SSDs comprise the flash memory that stores data, a controller that controls the flash memory and makes SSDs appear to be the equivalent of PC hard disc drives, supporting circuits, and mechanical components. The HS1 seri..
Silicon Motion's hybrid SLC/MLC SSD controller posted on 24 June 2008 10:21 SLC wear superiority + MLC capacity A new solid state disk (SSD) controller technology from Silicon Motion of Taiwan combines SLC and MLC flash in the same SSD to exploit the better write cycle duration of SLC flash with the larger capacity of MLC flash. SLC (single level cell) NAND flash stores one bit per cell and has a superior write cycle duration compared to mul..
What's a Solid State Disk (SSD) A solid state disk / drive (SSD) - is electrically, mechanically and software compatible with a conventional (magnetic) hard disk. The difference is that the storage medium is not magnetic (like a hard disk) or optical (like a CD) but solid state semiconductor such as battery backed RAM, EPROM or other electrically erasable RAMlike chip such as flash. This provides faster access time than a hard..
