Among the other distinctive features of the Marvell 88SS9187 SATA 3.1 6Gb / s 3rd generation SSD controller are:
- Better energy efficiency and lower cost,
- Up to 200MB / s read / write per channel
- Internal RAID for each NAND chip to optimize the disposal of a worn NAND block, block group, chip or the entire chip
- Support up to 1GB DDR3 DRAM cache
- The maximum possible sequential read speed for the 6Gb / s interface
- About 500MB / s sequential write speed even with a cluttered drive
- Best-in-class IOPS performance for arbitrary reading and writing with minimal reserved space and minimal performance degradation
- Supports On-chip RAID technology and low power consumptionWell-known SSD manufacturers (Intel, Crucial, Corsair and Plextor should be assumed) intend to immediately use the new controller in their solutions. Additional partners will join later this year.
