MTRON Unveils Next Generation SSD Controller
Monday, June 23rd, 2008MTRON, undoubtedly one of the highest quality SSD manufacturers, has unveiled a new SSD controller that nearly doubles performance of current performance SSDs. Solid state drives may be out of reach for normal consumers in normal applications but the rate at which innovations are occurring in the field will soon make high capacity high speed SSDs commonplace in the market. MTRON’s newest controller pushes the complexity by increasing the number of channels from 4 to 8 and thereby pushing maximum reads and writes to 260 MB/s and 240MB/s respectively for single level cell modules. SLC drives are still considerably more expensive than multi level cell modules but hopefully the advances made on this controller will extend over to MLC modules. MTRON is originally targeting military, aerospace, and medical applications for these drives however they will hopefully trickle down through industry after launch.
