Texas Memory Systems (TMS) just announced they are providing open source drivers for their RamSan-20: a PCIe based flash solution that offers lower latency and higher bandwidth than a normal Solid State Drive connected via a SAS or SATA connector.
Plextor, widely known for their CD-ROM and DVD drives, has announced they are entering the SSD business. According to the announcement made at the CES, the first drives will be 64 and 128GB units based on a Marvell chipset. Tech-On reports that the Japanese government is sponsoring development of a new type of Solid State Drive. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology launched the project as part of the CREST program. The development team will be led by Ken Takeuchi, associate professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information [...] Fudzilla has found documents that give details about an upcoming Solid State Drive from Intel. The drive is supposedly called the X25-X, and would be available before the holiday shopping season starts in a 2.5 inch 40GB unit. It’s based on MLC flash, leading to a 35MB/s write speed. Read performance should be better [...] After over a month of speculation and rumors, the Sun F5100 has finally appeared on Sun’s website. Most of the details published earlier were correct; in fact, the performance figures quoted earlier were lower than what’s currently being quoted by Sun.  Sun F5100 front view Super Talent just presented their new UltraDrive DX Solid State Drives. The drives are based on Toshiba MLC flash memory, and also use Toshiba controllers. The drives are available in capacities starting at 64GB, with the largest one providing 512GB of storage. Continue reading SSD news from Super Talent: new drives up to 512GB During the Intel Developer Forum, Intel hasn’t limited itself to showing off their latest chipsets and CPU’s; PCWorld France reports about a demo from Intel that was running seven PCI-Express Solid State Drives, reaching (as far as I can decipher the French) a million I/O’s per second.  Intel PCI Express flash drive prototype Continue reading IDF: Intel shows PCI-Express SSD solution reaching 1 million IOPS Marvell has been showing several upcoming products at the Intel Developer Forum, and one of them is the latest revision of their 6 Gbps SATA controller. The original version of this chip was already supposed to be in use by motherboard manufacturers, but a bug in their PATA controller caused some delays. The new revision of the 88SE9123 controller should be making its way to motherboard makers soon. Continue reading IDF: Marvell shows 6 Gbps SATA controller Pliant Technology is announcing a new partner for distribution of their just-announced Enterprise Flash Drives today; Bell Micro has agreed to distribute them throughout North America. Bell sees SSDs as an important market segment: Continue reading Pliant announces new distribution partner Toshiba will start volume production of two new SSD modules in October; the drives are remarkable not for their storage capacity, but for their physical size. The new drives are based on their latest 32nm MLC NAND flash technology; this enables Toshiba to bring the physical size of the drives down.  Toshiba flash modules Continue reading Toshiba adds smaller SSDs to their product lineup |
