SandForce Preps SF-2000 SSD Controller: seq. read/write speeds of up to 500/500 MB/s

Saratoga-based SandForce Inc. today announced its second generation solid state drive controllers which are known as the SF-2000 series and bring multiple improvements of the popular SF-1200/1500 chips.

The SF-2000 controllers feature:

- native support for the SATA 6.0 Gbps interface
- support for MLC (multi-level cell), eMLC (enterprise multi-level cell) and SLC (single-level cell) NAND Flash chips manufactured on 3xnm and 2xnm technology
- support for capacities up to 512GB
- support for Asynch, Toggle and ONFi2 Flash interfaces
- enhanced dual-ported SAS bridge support, including non-512-byte sector sizes
- random read/write performance of up to 60,000/60,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second)
- sequential read/write speeds of up to 500/500 MB/s
- TCG Enterprise security with selectable multi-banded 256/128-bit AES encryption with line-rate double encryption for data written to the drive
- advanced ECC engine correcting up to 55 bits per 512-byte sector
- power and performance throttling options

For starters, SandForce is introducing three SF-2000 series chips, the SF-2300 for industrial storage solutions, and the SF-2500 & SF-2600 for enterprise SSDs. No word on a consumer-grade model to replace the SF-1200 but such a controller is surely coming too.

For months SandForce has been telling me that the market is really going to get exciting once its next-generation controller is ready. I didn’t really believe it, simply because that’s what every company tells me. But in this case, at least based on what SandForce showed me, I probably should have.
