Silicon Motion Introduces Platform for Creating High-Speed ​​SSDs with Capacity Up to 128TB

Silicon Motion Technology announced the release of the MonTitan SSD Reference Design Kit (RDK), designed for creating high-capacity solid-state drives for data centers and enterprise systems.

The hardware platform is based on the Silicon Motion MonTitan SM8366 controller with support for PCIe 5.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 and OCP 2.5. This product is specifically designed for storage devices aimed at data centers and hyperscaler infrastructures.

Drives based on the MonTitan SSD RDK are designed to use 2-Tbit QLC NAND flash memory chips. The reference SSD has a capacity of 128 TB. The declared sequential read speed exceeds 14 GB/s, while the IOPS (input/output operations per second) indicator for random reading is more than 3.3 million. According to Silicon Motion, in terms of IOPS, the product provides a performance increase of over 25% compared to competing high-capacity drives with the PCIe 5.0 interface. Thanks to this, performance is maximized and bottlenecks in the operation of data storage systems are eliminated.

NVMe 2.0 FDP (Flexible Data Placement) technology is mentioned: it intelligently distributes data across QLC flash memory, optimizing the use of available cells. This reduces the load on the drive, improves the predictability of its behavior and increases overall performance. At the same time, Silicon Motion’s proprietary PerformaShape tool uses a multi-stage algorithm to optimize SSD performance.

Overall, the MonTitan SSD RDK platform enables the creation of drives designed for resource-intensive AI workloads such as training large language models (LLM).
