Mosaid Announces SSD Prototype with HyperLink NAND

MOSAID Technologies has introduced a Solid State Drive (SSD) prototype utilizing the HyperLink NAND (HLNAND) architecture and interface. According to the company in this recent news release, the HLNAND SSD prototype is optimized for mass storage applications, including enterprise data centers and high-performance computing environments. The company plans to show its HLNAND SSD prototype at the 2010 Flash Memory Summit, August 17-19 in Santa Clara California.

"As the first major new Flash memory architecture and device interface development in 20 years, HLNAND Flash combines MOSAID's HyperLink memory technology with industry standard NAND Flash cell technology. HLNAND delivers sustained input/output (I/O) bandwidths an order of magnitude higher than conventional Flash by utilizing a point-to-point ring topology that achieves an extremely high level of signal integrity and significantly reduced loading.

"The HLNAND SSD is a fully functional, Serial ATA2 (SATA2) compatible prototype incorporating a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based controller and MOSAID's HLNAND modules, built in the 3.5 inch form factor. The HLNAND SSD prototype uses two 64GB HLDIMM modules (eight multi-chip packages (MCPs) per module, 16 MCPs in total) arranged on a single channel. MOSAID provided the HLDIMM modules, and INDILINX built the controller and system board."
