Featuring an open, world-class architecture, the 88SS9187 supports industry-standard, high-speed NAND Flash interface up to 200MB/s per channel. Additionally, it offers a innovative correction capability due to its high performance ECC engine with Adaptive Read and Write Scheme and on-chip RAID functionality, which enables the use of the latest generation of NAND Flash devices.
With its lower costs and greater power efficiency, the 88SS9187 features the industry’s lowest active and stand-by power consumption rates for its performance level while meeting the requirements of the most demanding Ultrabook.
Other features of Marvell’s third-generation SSD controller include:
- Supports on-chip RAID technology for the NAND device with flexible customer firmware based algorithm to optimize retiring of defective NAND block, plane, die or device.
- Supports high-speed DDR3 DRAM interface with support for up to 1GB of memory that permits customer to implement highly performance optimized mapping algorithms.
- Maximum sequential read performance for a SATA 6G device.
- 500MB/s of sequential write performance even at dirty drive conditions.
- Best-in-class Random Read and Write IOPS with minimum over-provisioning and minimal performance degradation.
