Silicon Motion Announces SATA FerriSSD Single-chip 3D NAND SSD
Silicon Motion Technology Corporation, a global leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers and solid-state storage devices, today announced that it has extended its popular family of SATA 6 Gb/s FerriSSD Industrial BGA SSDs to support the latest 3D NAND with end-to-end data path protection, NANDXtend ECC, and IntelligentScan feature - delivering unsurpassed data reliability for embedded storage applications. The new FerriSSD products offer flexible data capacity options up to 256GB and feature proprietary data protection technologies that eliminate drive downtime and extend the service life of these SSDs. FerriSSD products offer customized solutions for various end-market demands and are optimized to meet the specific needs of the customer.Silicon Motion's proprietary data protection capabilities address the increasing concerns with SSD data reliability in demanding industrial, hyperscale server and automotive applications. FerriSSD data integrity features include:
The new 3D NAND FerriSSD products are on display at the Silicon Motion stand 1.228 at the Embedded World exhibition (Nuremberg, March 14-16, 2017).
- End-to-end data path protection, which detects and corrects any error that might occur in the data path between the host and the NAND array. This is accomplished through the application of full ECC protection to the SSD's SRAM and DRAM buffers as well as to the primary NAND Flash memory array.
- NANDXtend technology incorporating a new high-performance LDPC Error Correction Code (ECC) engine and a unique Group Page RAID function, which allows the SSD to recover from sudden NAND cell defects and bit errors induced by high-temperature operation environments or from general data-retention failures.
- IntelligentScan, which proactively protects data against potential data loss at high operating temperatures or read disturbance from intensive host read operations. This prevention measure is achieved by self-adjusting the scan frequency when the SSD runs hot and by refreshing sectors of the memory array that are at risk before any data is lost.
