Samsung and Sun Develop Flash Memory Device
Posted on: Friday, 18 July 2008, 06:00 CDT
Samsung Electronics has collaborated with Sun Microsystems to develop a flash memory device for use in solid state drives.
It said the single-level-cell, SLC, NAND memory device offers 8GB server-grade SLC flash memory with a five-fold increase in data write-and-erase cycles over standard SLC flash memory. It is designed for high-speed applications including video-streaming, high-transaction data processing, and search engine operations.
Michael Cornwell, lead technologist for flash memory at Sun Microsystems, said: "Sun sees incredible upside to using server grade SLC NAND flash to accelerate customers' applications, and we plan to incorporate this technology into our line of servers and storage."
