“SSD storage options are evolving to handle new challenges in information facilities which demand adjustments in storage platforms and working fashions,” stated Nelson Duann, Silicon Movement’s senior vice chairman of promoting and R&D. “Our MonTitan SSD answer is an progressive PCIe Gen5 SSD platform designed to fulfill the distinctive calls for of knowledge facilities immediately whereas offering flexibility and programmability to fulfill future evolving requirements.”
Silicon Movement says its MonTitan controller is predicated on a completely new platform that includes a purpose-built SM8366 ASIC. It sports activities a 16-channel NAND interface supporting as much as 2,400 MT/s. Mixed with customized firmware and fancy algorithms tuned for efficiency and QoS, Silicon Movement says MonTitan can prime 14GB/s of sequential write efficiency. Random learn and write efficiency checks in at 3 million 4K IOPS and a couple of.8 million 4K IOPS, respectively.
In phrases for sequential efficiency, 14GB/s will get honest near the theoretical higher limits of PCIe 5.0 x4, which is round 16GB/s. That is not accounting for overhead and different real-world limitations. Silicon Movement’s newest controller additionally helps monstrous capacities for information middle storage—as much as 128TB.
