HDD will die, YingChi Group releases new master 8TB SSD: Supports QLC Flash

[PConline News] In the past year, as NAND flash memory prices increased, the price of SSDs more than doubled, leading to the delay in the replacement of HDD hard drives by SSDs, and high-priced SSDs have become expensive again. However, judging from the trend, in addition to the large capacity of the HDD hard disk, performance, noise, and other aspects have all been completely destroyed by the SSD hard disk, and it is only a matter of time before it is replaced. At the 2017 Yingcai Carnival event, Qmax and Galaxy released a new generation of SSD master controllers supporting SATA and NVMe standards, with a maximum capacity of 8TB, which is the largest capacity among consumer SSD drives at speeds exceeding 3GB/s. The performance is also very powerful, and it will also support the future 96-layer stack of QLC flash. Yingchi began to make SSDs in 2011 and has cooperated with a number of manufacturers. At present, Yingchi is already one of the most important partners on the mainland. The 2017 Carnival was also strongly supported by the Group. Mr. Pan Jiancheng, Chairman of the Qantas Group, delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony, introduced the new generation of the main control product line of the Qantas, and disclosed two new products that will come out next year. The new main controls are the PS3112 for the 2.5-inch SATA interface and the PS5012 main control for the PCI-E. The detailed specifications are as follows: The PS3112 controller supports SATA 6Gbps interface, 8-channel architecture, read speed of 560MB.s, and write speed of 530MB/s. It also uses advanced technologies such as Core Processer, Code Sign, Smart X-Black, and supports second-generation LDPC encoding. Error correction technology further improves reliability. In terms of capacity, the PS3112 main control supports up to 8TB of capacity, which is the highest among consumer SSD drives. It not only supports 3D TLC flash memory, Pan Jian also mentioned that the new main control will support the future of 96-layer stack QLC flash memory, and capacity will continue to expand. Grouplink PS5012 main control is for PCI-E channel products, the main performance, support for the new NVMe 1.3 standard and PCI-E 3.0 x4 channel, read speeds up to 3200MB / s, write speeds are 3000MB / s, This speed is at the top level in the current PCI-E hard disk. The maximum capacity supported by the PS5012 main control also reached 8TB, and Yingchi also displayed 8TB capacity of PCI-E and SATA hard disks. 8TB PCI-E hard disk PS5012 master Grouplink self-locked flash memory chip This is an 8TB SSD drive with SATA interface
