The SM2320 features an USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, advanced SSD controller architecture and 4 NAND channels, and delivers sequential R/W speeds up to 2,100/2,000MB/s. By eliminating a USB bridge chip typically required in other more traditional designs, it also lowers the BoM cost and power consumption. It includes firm‘s NANDXtend ECC end-to-end data path protection and supports up to 4TB of capacity using the latest TLC and QLC NAND. Additionally, it support data security by providing AES 256-bit encryption, full compliance with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal spec and auxiliary Fingerprint Security support.

The market for high-performance external portable SSDs is expected to grow due to the wide range of applications requiring fast external storage such as gaming consoles and laptops used for data intensive applications like image and video storage and editing,” said Stanley Huang, senior director, SSD storage marketing. “The best external portable SSDs are not just delivering faster performance, but also offering lower power, smaller size and lower cost. By eliminating the bridge chip design, our new portable SSD controller solutions provide a simpler, more cost-effective solution for this growing product segment.”
