SandForce Inc. announced today a new family of solid-state disk (SSD) processors that the company claims will allow lower-cost, commodity NAND flash memory to be used in data center operations. The disks will also be faster and more reliable for use in mobile applications, the company said.
Saratoga, Calif.-based SandForce, which has been quietly working on the technology over the past three years, said its controller technology will allow multilevel cell (MLC) NAND flash memory to take the place of single-level cell (SLC) memory in data centers, reducing the cost per gigabSandForce Inc. announced today a new family of solid-state disk (SSD) processors that the company claims will allow lower-cost, commodity NAND flash memory to be used in data center operations.
