STEC Drives 24nm MLC NAND Endurance with CellCare Technology

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:04:07 +0000

One of the more popular trends in the enterprise SSD space is the movement toward eMLC and MLC NAND. The less expensive NAND still delivers much of the performance of the high-end SLC NAND, with substantially lower cost. Of course historically MLC NAND gives up endurance too, which is why the enterprise SSD market is finding creative ways to lengthen the life of the NAND. For its part, STEC has announced that it’s CellCare Technology can boost 24nm MLC NAND endurance from the typical few thousand program/erase cycles to 40,000 P/E cycles, a 13X improvement.
