As a storage industry giant, SK hynix usually only provide DRAM memory, NAND flash memory particles, but this week, SK hynix unexpectedly announced that it has completed the development of its first SSD solid state drive , In addition to using its own flash memory, the main control only self-developed.
SK hynix's first SSD has not yet announced the specific name, but the general specifications have been released, of which The flash memory is SK Hynix's own 72-layer 3D stacked TLC NAND, with a single capacity of 512Gb (64GB) and production in the fourth quarter of 2017. A single hard drive supports up to 4TB raw capacity.
Hard drive is divided into two styles, of which 7mm SATA The largest capacity 3840GB , Continuous reading and writing up to 560MB / s, 515MB / s, random read and write up to 98000 IOPS, 32000 IOPS, is a normal level.
M.2Support for NVMe, PCI-E 3.0, the largest capacity exceeded 1TB , Sustained read and write up to 2.7GB / s, 1.1GB / s, random read and write up to 230,000 IOPS, 35000IOPS, write slightly lower.
but, Specific parameters and characteristics of the master are not disclosed, may be developed by LAMD engineers acquired in 2012, may support LDPC ECC error correction.
SK hynix has already provided samples of some of its SSDs to some customers. The SATA version is expected to ship in the third quarter.
