HERZELIYA PITUACH, Israel--()--Anobit, a global leader of flash storage solutions, today announced its second generation Genesis SSDs, targeted at network and server attached storage, as well as enterprise business and cloud-based applications.

Utilizing Anobit’s proprietary MSP™ (Memory Signal Processing) technology, the new Genesis SSDs achieve endurance of 50,000 program/erase (P/E) cycles and performance of up to 70,000/40,000 IOPS random read/write (IOmeter 2006, 4K block size) and 510 MB/s sequential read/write with non-compressible data, using 2xnm MLC NAND.

Anobit’s MSP™ technology is comprised of proprietary signal processing algorithms that compensate for physical limitations of the NAND flash, combined with advanced error correction and innovative flash management schemes, resulting in a dramatic improvement in endurance, performance and system cost. Specifically, the MSP™ technology enables SLC (one bit-per-cell) endurance and performance with MLC (two bits-per-cell) NAND, and MLC endurance and performance with TLC (three bits-per-cell) NAND, resulting in a significant reduction in cost-per-bit. The MSP™ technology is field-proven, with over 20 million Anobit MSP™-powered flash controllers shipped year to-date to leading OEMs for embedded applications.

Supporting user data writes of 10 times the drive capacity per day for 5 years, Anobit’s new SSD product offering includes the Genesis-T series 2.5 inch 6Gb/s SATA 3.0 compliant SSD and the Genesis-S series 2 .5 inch 6Gb/s SAS 2.0 compliant SSD, available in 100 GB, 200 GB and 400 GB configurations today, with 800 GB and higher capacities to follow.

“The price and availability of consumer-grade MLC is critical for wide-scale adoption of SSDs, however its endurance and performance limitations are prohibitive," said Arun Taneja, Founder, Taneja Group. "Anobit’s MSP-powered SSDs bridge this gap, enabling the use of consumer-grade MLC without any compromise in endurance and performance, and thus leading the way to wide adoption of SSDs for enterprise applications.”

The new Genesis-T Series and Genesis-S series SSDs are currently sampling at select OEM customers, with volume availability in October, 2011. Specific product pricing is available upon customer request. Genesis product information is available at www.anobit.com.
