  • PC Gamers Win Big
    CASE STUDY Intel® Solid-State Drives Performance, Storage and the Customer Experience PC Gamers Win Big Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) deliver the ultimate gaming experience, providing dramatic visual and runtime improvements Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) represent a revolutionary breakthrough, delivering a giant leap in storage performance. Designed to satisfy the most demanding gamers, media creators, and technology enthusiasts, Intel® SSDs bring a high level of performance and reliability to notebook and desktop PC storage. Faster load times and improved graphics performance such as increased detail in textures, higher resolution geometry, smoother animation, and more characters on the screen make for a better gaming experience. Developers are now taking advantage of these features in their new game designs. SCREAMING LOAD TiMES AND SMOOTH GRAPHICS With no moving parts, high reliability, and a longer life span than traditional hard drives, Intel Solid-State Drives (SSDs) dramatically improve the computer gaming experience. Load times are substantially faster. When compared with Western Digital VelociRaptor* 10K hard disk drives (HDDs), gamers experienced up to 78 percent load time improvements using Intel SSDs. Graphics are smooth and uninterrupted, even at the highest graphics settings. To see the performance difference in a head-to- head video comparing the Intel® X25-M SATA SSD with a 10,000 RPM HDD, go to www.intelssdgaming.com. When comparing frame-to-frame coherency with the Western Digital VelociRaptor 10K HDD, the Intel X25-M responds with zero hitching while the WD VelociRaptor shows hitching seven percent of the time. This means gamers experience smoother visual transitions with Intel SSDs.

Our information hiding (IH) at the physical layer of a Solid proposed solution is 100% filesystem and OS-independent, State Drive (SSD) NAND flash memory. SSDs, like providing a lot of flexibility in implementation. Note that HDDs, require a mapping between the Logical Block throughout this paper, the term “physical layer” refers Addressing (LB) and physical media. However, the to the physical NAND flash memory of the SSD, and mapping on SSDs is significantly more complex and is handled by the Flash Translation Layer (FTL). FTL readers should not confuse it with the Open Systems is implemented via a proprietary firmware and serves Interconnection (OSI) model physical layer. to both protect the NAND chips from physical access Traditional HDDs, since their advent more than 50 as well as mediate the data exchange between the years ago, have had the least advancement among storage logical and the physical disk.

  • Micron: NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends
    NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends Michael Abraham ([email protected]) Applications Engineering Manager Micron Technology, Inc. Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 1 Abstract As NAND Flash continues to shrink, page sizes, block sizes, and ECC requirements are increasing while data retention, endurance, and performance are decreasing. These changes impact systems including random write performance and more. Learn how to prepare for these changes and counteract some of them through improved block management techniques and system design. This presentation also discusses some of the tradeoff myths – for example, the myth that you can directly trade ECC for endurance Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 2 NAND Flash: Shrinking Faster Than Moore’s Law 200 100 Logic 80 DRAM on (nm) ii 60 NAND Resolut 40 Micron 32Gb NAND (34nm) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Semiconductor International, 1/1/2007 Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 3 Memory Organization Trends Over time, NAND block size is increasing. • Larger page sizes increase sequential throughput. • More pages per block reduce die size. 4,194,304 1,048,576 262,144 65,536 16,384 4,096 1, 024 256 64 16 Block size (B) Data Bytes per Page Pages per Block Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 4 Consumer-grade NAND Flash: Endurance and ECC Trends Process shrinks lead to less electrons ppgger floating gate.
