Enhanced SiliconDrive Technology Platform Provides
the Industry’s Highest Compatibility and Reliability for Future Host
System Designs.
Press release:
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., June 18, 2007 — SiliconSystems, Inc., a world
leader in advanced storage technology, today announced the next-generation
of its industry-leading SiliconDrive technology platform.
The new SiliconDrive
platform is designed to overcome storage system reliability and compatibility
issues associated with faster host system interfaces and shrinking storage
component process geometries to deliver the high performance, high reliability
and multi-year product lifecycle storage systems required by OEMs.
Future
SiliconSystems’ SiliconDrive product families will be based on this
next-generation technology platform and will feature enhanced protection
from host system voltage and power anomalies to prevent data and drive
corruption, a more precise storage system useable-life monitoring system
to compensate for lower endurance storage components, and a robust storage
management architecture to ensure long product life.
Advancements in embedded systems applications typically follow operating
system and chip-set trends in the personal computer and broader computing
markets. Because of this trend, future host system designs are migrating
to faster Serial ATA, USB and UDMA storage system interfaces.
According
to Alan Niebel, CEO of Web-Feet Research, “OEMs are beginning to face
a number of challenges as next-generation host system interfaces and
smaller storage component process geometries find their way into embedded
systems.
As a result, there definitely is a need right now for a solid-state storage
platform that provides a viable solution to endurance, low voltage and
other storage management issues presented by these changes.”
SiliconSystems’ next-generation SiliconDrive storage products feature
advanced versions of the company’s patented PowerArmor and patent-pending
SiSMART technologies, and its industry-leading ECC, wear-leveling and storage
management technologies.

“SiliconSystems is very proud of its history of developing industry-leading
advanced storage technology and today’s announcement is the culmination
of years of R&D effort to tackle the challenging issues facing our OEM
customers as they migrate to next-generation host system designs,” said
Michael Hajeck, CEO at SiliconSystems.
“The news is not that SiliconSystems
is announcing storage systems with the latest industry-standard interfaces;
the company could have made that announcement months ago. What is significant,
is that the company’s next-generation SiliconDrive products integrate
powerful advanced storage technologies to ensure SiliconSystems exceeds the
exacting performance, reliability and lifecycle demands of its global OEM
customer base.”
SiliconSystems is actively developing and will soon introduce Serial ATA,
USB and UDMA SiliconDrive product families based on its next-generation SiliconDrive
technology platform.
