DSP processor increases MLC NAND resource by almost 20 times

    Israeli company Anobit Technologies entered the market with its first product that could revolutionize high-performance server SSDs. The company introduced the first SSD-drive with a processor that significantly improves the reliability of MLC cells. This refers to the proprietary DSP, which they call the MSP processor (Memory Signal Processor), developed by Anobit Technologies. Using special software in the controller, it improves the signal-to-noise ratio in the SSD. Thus, the resource of the MLC cell (multilevel cell) is increased from the standard 3000 write / erase cycles to more than 50,000 cycles.

    In other words, MLC SSDs are becoming more suitable for applications such as relational databases. For example, a 400 gigabyte Genesis SSD is capable of supporting 4 terabytes of recordings daily for five years. The disc has the characteristics of 20,000 read operations per second and 30,000 read operations per second.



    MLC flash memory is traditionally used for consumer products, such as MP3 players, for which reliability is not very important. High-end devices use SLC NAND.
