"Marvell's latest family of storage controllers has been
architected to optimally address edge computing and data center
pain points of power-performance and capacity-performance," said
Nigel Alvares, vice president of
marketing for the Flash Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor,
Inc. "With today's launch, we're once again demonstrating
Marvell's leadership in storage, delivering the industry's first
4-Channel PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD controllers with the industry's lowest
power consumption that will help revolutionize SSD solutions for
the data economy."
Ecosystem Support
"AMD recently introduced the world's first PCIe® 4.0 ready
desktop PC platform, the 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen™ processor and
AMD X570 chipset for socket AM4," said Chris Kilburn, corporate vice president and
general manager, Client Channel, AMD. "We are delighted with the
Marvell DRAM-less PCIe Gen4 SSD controller helping bring the
increased bandwidth and performance required to elevate the user
experience with next generation computing devices."
"As a strategic storage partner of Lenovo, we are dedicated to
transforming our customers' experience with technology innovation,"
said JP Yang, general manager of SSD BU, Union Memory (a Lenovo
company). "The PCIe Gen4 host interface, high-speed
1200MT/s NAND flash interface and low
power 12nm technology of the Marvell SSD controllers support our
vision of bringing significant value with superior
power-performance in small form factors, low latency for fast
wake-up and prolonged battery life operation."
"We have worked closely with Marvell to validate Micron's
high-performance, 96-layer NAND components supporting 1.2 GT/s
interface with its PCIe Gen4 SSD controller family," said
Arie Tal, senior director of
business development for the Consumer and Components Group at
Micron Technology. "Marvell's optimized controllers will allow our
mutual customers to deliver innovative, low-power, small form
factor SSD solutions for emerging data center, edge computing and
PC OEM use cases."
"Marvell and Toshiba Memory Corporation have a strong
established relationship delivering best-in-class SSD offerings for
markets that span client to cloud data center," said Hiroo Ohta, technology executive, Toshiba Memory
Corporation. "We believe Marvell's PCIe Gen4 controller
product family combined with our TLC, QLC and XL-FLASH BiCS FLASH™
Gen. 4 devices will enable new edge and data center storage
architecture solutions utilizing flash technology."
Advancing Next-Generation Technology
The Marvell SSD controller portfolio of devices, including the
88SS1321, 88SS1322 and 88SS1323, represent the industry's first
PCIe Gen4 DRAM and DRAM-less SSD controllers to be fabricated on a
12nm process. With support covering all existing and emerging
m.2 (22110 to 2230), BGA, EDSFF and U.2 SSD form factors, the
controller family is ideal for cloud data center server compute
storage, enterprise boot drives, PC client storage and gaming
storage as well as emerging industrial and edge device
applications.
Importantly, the new Marvell solutions will enable
next-generation 3D and QLC NAND devices that maximize cost
efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership. The
ultra-compact DRAM-less controller architecture allows for a
stand-alone SSD controller and NAND unit to be mounted side-by-side
on a single-sided ultra-compact m.2230 form factor SSD. This
significant space savings enables platform OEMs more room to house
battery packs versus m.2280 SSDs, while also providing better
performance compared to PCIe Gen 3x4 SSDs and lower power
consumption compared to eight NAND channel controller-based
SSDs.
Marvell's revolutionary SSD controllers are available for
sampling today. For more information, please

Marvell will showcase its SSD controller product line at the
Flash Memory Summit, August 6-8, at
the Santa Clara Convention Center
(Expo Booth #511, Exhibit Hall A). Nigel Alvares' conference keynote, "Innovative
Chipset Solutions for Accelerating the Data Economy" takes place on
August 7 at 2:10 p.m.
