PetaIO: Peta8118 Series PCIe4 NVMe Up to 6.4TB SSD for Data Center

PetaIO Ltd., a fabless company focusing on high performance and low power SSD controllers for enterprise data center applications, announced the availability of its Peta8118 SSD U.2 platform solutions based on its Titanium-DC SoC controller.

The Titanium-DC controller was designed using TSMC FinFET 16nm process node with the PCIe Gen4x4 interface and 8-channels at 1,200MT/s NAND interface speed supporting the latest gen of TLC and QLC NANDs. It can deliver 7.0GB/s sequential read and 1.2 million IO/s 4K random read performances with low power consumption. Complete SSD drive level performance metrics based on different NAND interface speeds are listed in the tables below.

The Titanium series controller architecture, which fully supports the NVMe 1.4 specs, enables QoS and I/O determinism and can also effectively support ZNS and Open Channel emerging protocols. The company’s goal is to provide performance, flexibility, and reliability required to meet the demanding customer-specific data center requirements.

Peta8118 U.2 SSD samples are available in 1.6, 3.2, and 6.4TB capacity to partners and customers for evaluation and product development now. Peta8118 E1.S (EDSFF 1U Short) and M.2 form factor SSDs will be available in July 2020.

The company is also augmenting the Titanium controller family with Titanium-XP, a 16-channels version, to support 64TB SSD capacity and to further increase SSD level performances. It will include the proprietary 3D Computational Engine, which is optimized for AI and ML applications and near-memory data processing functions. For these applications, the firm’s computational engine provides a cost-effective solution. Several innovative patents are under filing.

Titanium-XP will be available early next year.
