Solid-state drives (SSD) have now been developed to deliver basic functionality at a more reasonable price, with the help of advanced and sophisticated semiconductor technologies. The new storage technology is widening its range of applications from military systems and other specific uses to industrial and mobile devices, and has also found its way into embedded applications.Compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDD), SSDs have significantly faster read and write speeds to meet storage demands of data centers and cloud computing applications. HDD shortages caused by the Thailand floods have also encouraged enterprises to consider SSDs as the preferred choice of high-performance storage devices.Having its own packaging and testing facilities, KINGMAX Group is eyeing the huge growth opportunities from SSD demand, and aims to offer a complete range of solutions to customers across different sectors. The firm is gearing up to introduce various new SSDs for applications ranging from consumer electronics and enterprise, to industrial computing and military equipment. New products include those supporting 6Gbps SATA3 and 3Gbps SATA2 for industrial-grade applications. KINGMAX will also release mSATA SSD and half-slim SSD drives for ultrabooks and small-form-factor embedded systems. As for military-class SSDs, KINGMAX is striving to acquire accreditation from relevant certification bodies and expects to start shipping products in the second half of 2012.Joe Liu, CEO of KINGMAX Group, remarked that SSDs are ideal for cloud computing applications, mobile devices, industrial PCs and military systems, which all require high impact resistance and faster read/write speeds. SSD brand companies have different attitudes toward product quality, resulting in varying degrees of stability and reliability, Liu said. Stability and reliability make KINGMAX products more competitive, Liu noted.In fact, the threshold for entering the SSD market is not high. Many of the makers specializing in flash modules and storage device controllers have tapped the SSD market. However, developing SSDs for industrial- and military-specification ruggedized systems must rely on strong manufacturing and R&D capabilities.Stringent manufacturing process controls to ensure stability and reliabilityFor industrial- and military-grade SSDs, stability and durability are far more important than speed. The drives used for industrial and military applications are required to enable uninterrupted operation, 24 hours a day, and therefore, reliability is one of the key factors when considering the purchase of a SSD.To ensure its SSDs are high quality, KINGMAX is strict with its selection of materials, parts and components. The firm's extensive experience in the area of memory modules and flash products also allows it to source and select the highest quality components and materials available.And to ensure consistent performance from SSD systems operating under harsh environments, KINGMAX has built an exclusive production process to stringently monitor quality control results. The quality control procedures include temperate, vibration and humidity tests to ensure reliable operation in order to meet the demanding requirements of the industrial and military industries.Through those test methods - regarded as the industry standard - such as an accelerated aging test method, KINGMAX is able to evaluate the quality of its SSDs and archive data regarding the drives' durability and reliability, Liu stated. KINGMAX is confident of supplying products beyond the standard data specifications, and its partners are allowed to design and produce goods of competitive or even better quality - a win-win situation for both sides, Liu said.For example, KINGMAX' SSD modules for embedded devices are designed to meet stability requirements over a wide temperature range from minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius, and also ensure proper functioning at temperatures as high as 90 degrees C. The product achievement allows KINGMAX to create a barrier to entry, and snatch orders without lowering its prices.In the area for mass-market consumers, KINGMAX offers a series of SSDs with various performance and prices to target different consumer groups. Products cover 6Gbps SATA3 drives, 3Gbps SATA2 standalone drives, or those for desktops. KINGMAX is also among the first players in the SSD space releasing a 1TB variant of its products. Having a complete product offering allows KINGMAX's customers to choose the best solution, and also helps the company to avoid the impact of a price war.Joe Liu (center), CEO of KINGMAX Group
Memoright, a solid-state drive (SSD) specialist dedicated to developing its own brand, offers both creative and practical solutions to demonstrate company R&D and manufacturing capability. Memoright will participate in Computex Taipei 2012 with its latest solutions expected to be the spotlight.At Computex 2011, Memoright showcased a 2.5-inch SSD series with up to 800GB of storage - seen as a breakthrough in capacity along with improving specifications. The high-capacity drive in a small form factor delivers read speed of up to 220MB/sec and writing at the same level - representing performance that drew much attention from Computex visitors.Memoright is looking to take part in the same event this year, with new design ideas specifically highlighting the company's product differentiation. Led by President Alex Kuo, Memoright will be at Computex 2012 to showcase a series of its latest SSD solutions which come with reliable performance over a wide temperature range and long life expectancy.Memoright's booth at this year's Computex will be divided into three sections - QuadLife-series MLC SSDs with ultra-long lifespan; QuadLife-series MLC SSDs with not only ultra-long lifespan but also an extended operating temperature range; and products for mass-market applications including eMMC solutions for mobile consumer devices, and storage drives for ultrabooks such as 5mm-thin SATA3 SSDs and the MS-701 series of mini-SATA drives."Our SSD's ultra-long lifespan is definitely not a gimmick," Kuo noted. It took more than one year for Memoright to develop the QuadLife-series MLC SSDs - built based on sophisticated math algorithms and Memoright's proprietary Endurance Write firmware. The HTC series is able to boost the MLC NAND endurance up to 20,000 cycles, compared to conventional drives with 3,000 cycles for MLC - a longevity difference of six to seven times.The launch of Memoright's QuadLife-series is of great significance to customers for one main reason. SSD developers used to extend their product life cycle at the expense of performance. The speed of data transmission had to be kept under 10MB/s in order to for a substantial increase in life expectancy. The QuadLife SSDs have a longer lifespan without sacrificing speed, which satisfies customer needs.Memoright's QuadLife-series SSDs provide a lifespan similar to that of ordinary SLC SSDs while delivering constant "full speed." Moreover, the QuadLife series is MLC flash and therefore has low cost benefits. The product provides the best balance between cost, performance and durability, and will be able to take the C/P value of MLC SSDs to a new realm.As for temperature range, MLC SSD manufacturers used to pay less attention to testing procedures prior to shipments or not to implement a complete SOP to test the actual highest and lowest temperatures. Such negligence led to all sorts of production problems in the ramp-up phrase and failure to achieve customer acceptance.Having acknowledged that harsh environments such as military and aerospace applications would require ruggedized, extended temperature SSD solutions, Memoright decided to develop its wide-temp MLC SSD portfolio to fit such specific market niches."Allowing extreme flexibility over a wide temperature range does not only depend on Memoright's capability itself," Kou continued. Memoright's QuadLife-series wide-temp MLC SSDs use the chips - which are certified by original flash manufacturers and meet the extended temperature requirement - and have to go through a basic verification process including the required temperatures ranging from 95 degrees to minus 45 degree Celsius. The QuadLife-series SSDs are being produced under strict quality control to ensure they truly withstand a wide temperature range.In addition to SSDs, Memoright also provides embedded MMC (eMMC) solutions used in smartphones and other mobile devices. At Computex 2012, the company will spotlight its eMMC products including the existing ones supporting eMMC 4.41 interface and new ones for 4.5, along with SSD products. The transition from eMMC 4.41 to eMMC 4.5 enables 200MHz bus speeds, compared to the 52MHz previously reached, Kuo indicated. The higher clock rate is allowed to satisfy more application, Kuo said.Despite its small form factor, eMMC memory was previously not an ideal solution for smartphones and other portable electronics devices due to unsatisfactory speeds. But with clock speed improving to 200MHz, the adoption of eMMC solutions is now a key trend in the smartphone market and other segments for mobile consumer products.Kuo added that eMMC solutions will also likely be extensively used in learning machines, smart TVs and other non-portable computing devices, which have built-in processors and require flash memory to store data.Flash memory built using traditional manufacturing processes used to have four chips packaged and soldered directly onto motherboard. The conventional packaging method was able to effectively meet increasing data-processing needs. With upstream chipmakers upgrading their process nodes, device manufacturers will have to come up with corresponding ways to package the chips.Unfortunately, as process design rules shrink, the raw bit error rate of flash increases. Device manufacturers have expressed concerns that processors may become overwhelmed to affect the accuracy of information.An eMMC module consists of flash memory and a controller - offered in one package - and has similar costs as the traditional four flash-based storage solutions. The former approach, however, can directly handle the raw bit error rate and reduce the CPU load to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data...In addition to the three main product segments that will be showcased at Computex 2012, Memoright will also exhibit its PCI-E SSDs and strive for cooperation with server companies.Memoright has been actively involved in firmware R&D and implements rigorous testing procedures to develop products differentiated from competitors' and with great value, company president Alex Kuo said.
