Classified as SCM (or persistent reminiscence), with the power to retain its contents like NAND flash reminiscence, XL-FLASH bridges the efficiency hole that exists between DRAM and NAND. While risky reminiscence options resembling DRAM present the entry pace wanted by demanding functions, that efficiency comes at a excessive price. As the cost-per-bit and scalability of DRAM ranges off, this new SCM (or persistent reminiscence) layer within the reminiscence hierarchy addresses that problem with a excessive density, price efficient, non-volatile NAND flash reminiscence answer. Poised for development, business analyst agency IDC estimates the SCM market is anticipated to succeed in in extra of $3B in 2022.
Sitting in between DRAM and NAND flash, XL-FLASH brings elevated pace, lowered latency and better storage capacities – at a decrease price than conventional DRAM. XL-FLASH will initially be deployed in an SSD format however could possibly be expanded to reminiscence channel connected gadgets that sit on the DRAM bus, resembling future business normal non-volatile twin in-line reminiscence modules (NVDIMMs).
Key Features
- 128 gigabit (Gb) die (in a 2-die, 4-die, 8-die package deal)
- Four KB web page measurement for extra environment friendly working system reads and writes
- 16-plane structure for extra environment friendly parallelism
- Fast web page learn and program instances. XL-FLASH gives a low learn latency of lower than 5 microseconds, roughly 10 instances sooner than current TLC
As the inventor of NAND flash, the primary to announce 3D flash reminiscence know-how and a frontrunner in course of migrations, Toshiba Memory is ideally positioned to ship SLC-based SCM with mature manufacturing, confirmed scalability and time-tested SLC reliability.
“With XL-FLASH, we are giving hyperscalers and enterprise server/storage providers a more cost-effective, lower latency storage solution that bridges the gap between DRAM and NAND performance,” famous Scott Nelson, senior vp and common supervisor of Toshiba Memory America, Inc.’s Memory Business Unit. “We’re also opening the door for emerging technologies and industry standards that will enable different form factors for low-latency flash memory solutions. SCM is the next frontier for enterprise storage, and our role as one of the world’s largest flash memory suppliers gives XL-FLASH a cost/performance edge over competing SCM solutions.”
