Memoright Introduces MLC-Based Quadlife Series SSDs
With "four times" average life span
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 4, 2013 at 3:01 pmMemoright Corp., a Taiwan-based developer of SSDs and high-end storage devices, independently developed the QuadLife Series MLC-based solid state drive with its firmware R&D team.
They includes the Endurance Write firmware architecture developed by Memoright to extend the life of SSDs by more than four times compared with typical MLC-based SSDs. They are a solution for cloud computing, business servers and similar industrial PC applications.
QuadLife Series SSDs are available in capacities of 265GB and 530GB in a 2.5-inch form factor and 220GB in a 1.8-inch form factor. All are equipped with internally developed Endurance Write firmware architecture with patented technology and algorithms to take advantage of flash memory write blocks, which compared with the 3,000-5,000 PE cycles typical of ordinary MLC SSDs increases to more than 20,000 times.
QuadLife Series SSDs support the Memoright-patented InDrive UPS (Uninterruptible power supply), which in emergency power outage situations maintains the SSD internal power and stores data in flash memory to avoid the occurrence of abnormal bad blocks, ensuring that valuable information is saved,and extending the length of SSD use.
They support the Security Erase data erase function and Software Erase as well as the Hardware Erase wipe functions, providing optional settings for data security erase and destruction to ensure that information can be securely erased or destroyed.
QuadLife Series MLC-based SSDs are lower priced than SLC SSDs yet retain the longevity characteristics of SLC flash memory while saving 75% of the cost.
