Anobit claims its best-in-class flash SSDs

Published:2011/9/19 21:47:00 Author:Phyllis From:SeekIC

Anobit’s second generation Genesis SSDs are targeted at meeting the most stringent endurance and performance requirements of data centers and cloud applications using sonsumer-grade MLC NAND and for network and server attached storage, as well as enterprise business and cloud-based applications.

The new Genesis SSDs utilize Anobit’s proprietary MSP™ (Memory Signal Processing) technology and demonstrate endurance of 50,000 program/erase (P/E) cycles and performance of up to 70,000/40,000 IOPS random read/write (IOmeter 2006, 4K block size) and 510 MB/s sequential read/write with non-compressible data, using 2xnm MLC NAND.

New Genesis Solid State Drives (SSDs) Anobit’s MSP-powered SSDs enable the use of consumer-grade MLC without any compromise in endurance and performance, and thus leading the way to wide adoption of SSDs for enterprise applications.

Anobit’s MSP™ technology is comprised of proprietary signal processing algorithms that compensate for physical limitations of the NAND flash, combined with advanced error correction and innovative flash management schemes, resulting in a dramatic improvement in endurance, performance and system cost. Specifically, the MSP™ technology enables SLC (one bit-per-cell) endurance and performance with MLC (two bits-per-cell) NAND, and MLC endurance and performance with TLC (three bits-per-cell) NAND, resulting in a significant reduction in cost-per-bit. The MSP™ technology is field-proven, with over 20 million Anobit MSP™-powered flash controllers shipped year to-date to leading OEMs for embedded applications.

The price and availability of consumer-grade MLC is critical for wide-scale adoption of SSDs, however its endurance and performance limitations are prohibitive.
