“Marvell’s latest family of storage controllers has been architected to optimally address edge computing and data center pain points of power-performance and capacity-performance,” stated Nigel Alvares, vp of promoting for the Flash Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. “With today’s launch, we’re once again demonstrating Marvell’s leadership in storage, delivering the industry’s first 4-Channel PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD controllers with the industry’s lowest power consumption that will help revolutionize SSD solutions for the data economy.”
Ecosystem Support
“AMD recently introduced the world’s first PCIe 4.0 ready desktop PC platform, the 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processor and AMD X570 chipset for socket AM4,” stated Chris Kilburn, company vp and normal supervisor, Client Channel, AMD. “We are delighted with the Marvell DRAM-less PCIe Gen4 SSD controller helping bring the increased bandwidth and performance required to elevate the user experience with next generation computing devices.”
“As a strategic storage partner of Lenovo, we are dedicated to transforming our customers’ experience with technology innovation,” stated JP Yang, normal supervisor of SSD BU, Union Memory (a Lenovo firm). “The PCIe Gen4 host interface, high-speed 1200MT/s NAND flash interface and low power 12nm technology of the Marvell SSD controllers support our vision of bringing significant value with superior power-performance in small form factors, low latency for fast wake-up and prolonged battery life operation.”
“We have worked closely with Marvell to validate Micron’s high-performance, 96-layer NAND components supporting 1.2 GT/s interface with its PCIe Gen4 SSD controller family,” stated Arie Tal, senior director of enterprise growth for the Consumer and Components Group at Micron Technology. “Marvell’s optimized controllers will allow our mutual customers to deliver innovative, low-power, small form factor SSD solutions for emerging data center, edge computing and PC OEM use cases.”
“Marvell and Toshiba Memory Corporation have a strong established relationship delivering best-in-class SSD offerings for markets that span client to cloud data center,” stated Hiroo Ohta, expertise government, Toshiba Memory Corporation. “We believe Marvell’s PCIe Gen4 controller product family combined with our TLC, QLC and XL-FLASH BiCS FLASH Gen. 4 devices will enable new edge and data center storage architecture solutions utilizing flash technology.”
Advancing Next-Generation Technology
The Marvell SSD controller portfolio of units, together with the 88SS1321, 88SS1322 and 88SS1323, symbolize the business’s first PCIe Genfour DRAM and DRAM-less SSD controllers to be fabricated on a 12nm course of. With assist protecting all current and rising m.2 (22110 to 2230), BGA, EDSFF and U.2 SSD kind elements, the controller household is good for cloud information heart server compute storage, enterprise boot drives, PC shopper storage and gaming storage in addition to rising industrial and edge system purposes.
Importantly, the brand new Marvell options will allow next-generation 3D and QLC NAND units that maximize value effectivity and cut back complete value of possession. The ultra-compact DRAM-less controller structure permits for a stand-alone SSD controller and NAND unit to be mounted side-by-side on a single-sided…
