Israeli Startup Claims SSD Breakthrough
Lucas123 writes "Anobit Technologies announced it has come to market with its first solid state drive using a proprietary processor intended to boost reliability in a big way. In addition to the usual hardware-based ECC already present on most non-volatile memory products, the new drive's processor will add an additional layer of error correction, boosting the reliability of consumer-class (multi-level cell) NAND to that of expensive, data center-class (single-level cell) NAND. 'Anobit is the first company to commercialize its signal-processing technology, which uses software in the controller to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, making it possible to continue reading data even as electrical interference increases.' The company claims its processor, which is already being used by other SSD manufacturers, can sustain up to 4TB worth of writes per day for five years, or more than 50,000 program/erase cycles — as contrasted with the 3,000 cycles typically achieved by MLC drives. The company is not revealing pricing yet."
Never do what you can in hardware, in software. ...and we can't do this in hardware! :)
So basically, -1 troll/offtopic is really slashdots way of saying "I hate that you thought of something before me."
The SSD will have a more powerful CPU than the computer.. All it will need is a graphics and audio chip, more RAM and.. oh... nevermind..
Todos mis movimientos están friamente calculados
What jew talkin' 'bout, Willis?!
I'm sure Algebra and 0 were invented sometime before 1948.
