Memoright is announcing next-generation XTM Series SATA III SSD products at Computex 2013. Including Memoright’s exclusive Endurance Write firmware architecture developed with in-house R&D, the product supports MLC and TLC flash memory made with the latest process technology. Offering the best combination of reliability and high-speed performance, the product is ideal for applications in cloud computing, business servers, workstations and high-end personal computers.

Using the latest 19 nm MLC / TLC flash memory, the XTM SSD includes Memoright’s exclusive Endurance Write firmware architecture that significantly enhances SSD life while providing stable, high-speed read/write performance.

Earlier TLC flash memory applications have been confined to digital audio players and other products that have flash drive storage requirements at the low range of performance and service life. Yet market expectations for SSDs have increased steadily, making a design that balances performance, product life and product cost an important test for the SSD industry and manufacturers.

With our exclusive Endurance Write firmware architecture, Memoright’s XTM series allows traditional MLC flash memory to achieve its full potential in performance, while for first time TLC can also be added to SSD applications, evidence of our strong SSD hardware/software R&D capabilities.
