Netlist Expands Flash Product Line with mSATA Half-Slim and 1.8" SATA SSD Drives



Netlist's mSATA half-slim and 1.8" SATA SSD drives provide flexible form-factor options for datacenter server, networking and storage equipment

IRVINE, Calif. -- Netlist, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today announced the further expansion of its Flash product portfolio with two new SATA based additions to the Embedded Flash product line. The mSATA half-slim module offers storage capacity of up to 128GB with onboard 64MB DRAM cache. The 1.8" SATA SSD drive offers storage capacities to 256GB with onboard 128MB DRAM cache. The smaller form-factor SSD support for ultra-dense applications makes these modules ideal for datacenter equipment and embedded systems.

"With our new mSATA half-slim and 1.8"SATA SSDs, Netlist expands its portfolio to offer MLC solutions with an Industrial Temperature grade option and a consistent controller and firmware implementation across all SATA II products," said Steve McClure, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Netlist. "This allows our customers to select the appropriate form factor to meet their specific system requirements."

Fully SATA v2.6 compatible, the new products support 3.0Gbps data rates, SMART and TRIM functionality, expanded 48-bit register addressing mode, and power management. The mSATA half-slim and 1.8" SSD drives have typical sequential read performance up to 260MB/s and typical sequential write performance up to 210MB/s. Supporting SLC, MLC, and ONFI 2.0 NAND Flash technologies with enhanced ECC support for 48bits of correction in 2kB, the mSATA modules can support Commercial (0 degrees C to +70 degrees C) or Industrial (-40 degrees C to +85 degrees C) applications. The products are well suited to enterprise and industrial environments with wide temperature, shock, vibration, humidity, and altitude variations.

Samples of the 1.8"SATA SSD drive and mSATA half-slim SSD modules are available now. Visit www.netlist.com/flash for additional information.
