Biwin, an industry leader in flash storage products, today announced the NuvoDrive™ PX enterprise class 2.5 inch SATA III 6Gbps SSD that supports up to 85,000 random write IOPS and features data loss protection in the event of sudden power failure.
NuvoDrive PX is based on the LSI SandForce® SF-2582 Flash Storage Processor, which packs the vanguard of enterprise reliability features such as global wear leveling, NCQ support, SMART commands support, and an ECC engine capable of correcting up to 55 bits per 512-byte sector.
NuvoDrive PX uses synchronous MLC NAND flash as a storage medium, and can also be built to order with eMLC or SLC NAND. This SSD is optimized for endurance and performance, and is therefore configured with 28% overprovisioning (OP) as a default. OP can be factory set to 7% for OEM customers on request. NuvoDrive PX is sampling now to OEMs in 50GB, 100GB, 200GB and 400GB capacities, and will be in mass production in Q3. Biwin will showcase the NuvoDrive PX in their booth at Computex Taipei, June 5-9 in Nangang Hall booth # J1218.

LSI Corporation today announced several demonstrations of its award-winning SandForce® SF-2000 Flash Storage Processors (FSPs) using Toshiba 19nm and Intel 20nm NAND flash memory, the most advanced flash memory technology currently available for solid state drive (SSD) applications. Interactive demonstrations can be seen at the Computex Taipei 2012 exposition taking place this week in Taipei, Taiwan.
LSI SandForce FSPs are designed to provide best-in-class performance, reliability, endurance and power efficiency for NAND flash-based SSDs. With proven products available today, LSI offers SSD manufacturers a time-to-market advantage in building more affordable SSDs, helping to accelerate broad adoption of flash storage for cloud computing, enterprise and client applications. Shipments of SSDs in client and enterprise markets are expected to exceed 100 million units in 2015, representing a 56 percent growth rate over 2011 shipments.
"SSD users want to benefit from the significant cost advantages of the leading flash processes, but most SSD controllers can't support the complexities of the most advanced chips," said Jim Handy, SSD analyst for Objective Analysis. "By supporting today's smallest NAND processes, LSI provides OEMs and end users access to the most cost-effective deployment of flash memory in primary and I/O-intensive data storage workloads across cloud-computing, enterprise and client applications."
