Silicon Motion Announces SM2246EN SATA 6Gb/s SSD Controller Supporting Micron's 128Gb 16nm MLC NAND
SM2246EN offers the best performance and power combination of four channel SATA 6Gb/s client SSD controller in the market, delivering even better performance than most 8-channel SSD controllers with substantially lower power consumption. Using Micron's 128Gb 16nm MLC NAND, the SM2246EN delivers up to 538*MB/s sequential read performance and 450*MB/s sequential write, as well as up to 67,000* random read IOPS and 65,000* random write IOPS. In addition, with Micron 128Gb 16nm MLC NAND, the SM2246EN delivers ultra-low power consumption, equating to about 30**% lower than the average power consumption of other SSD controllers.
"We are pleased to announce that we have delivered and qualified the SM2246EN's firmware and reference design for Micron's 128Gb 16nm MLC NAND to many of our customers," said
"Micron has seen tremendous interest in our 128Gb 16nm MLC NAND because it delivers a unique combination of capacity, quality, and performance," said
