Silicon Movement is growing a next-gen PCIe 6.0 SSD controller

Silicon Movement is already growing its first SSD controller for drives with a PCIe 6.0 interface. The brand new controller known as SM8466 and belongs to the MonTitan household of SSD controllers for datacenters and enterprise. 

Wallace C. Kou, chief government of Silicon Movement made the brief announcement of the corporate’s inaugural PCIe 6.0 SSD controller in his column for ChinaFlashMarket.com. The CEO of SMI didn’t reveal many particulars concerning the firm’s SM8466 PCIe Gen6 SSD controller, although we are able to make an informed guess that the chip will function a PCIe 6.0 x4 interface and can intention for an as much as 30.25 GB/s bandwidth in every course, a 2X efficiency improve in comparison with drives with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. Clearly, since we’re coping with a Mon Titan controller — and based mostly on the naming scheme, we’re certainly coping with enterprise-oriented silicon — count on it to function all of the enterprise-grade safety capabilities.
